The PSN is down for PS4 gamers tonight

Reports of the PSN status being down started coming in earlier tonight, with PlayStation Network users confirming error messages.

These include PSN maintenance reports, which state that core online services are currently unavailable.

The official PSN Status page has now changed to show that ALL core PlayStation Network services are now down.

This includes everything from Gaming and Social, to Accountant Management, the PlayStation Store and even Sony Music services.

"You may have some difficulty launching games, applications, or online features," a message from the PlayStation support team reads.

"Our engineers are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible, and we thank you for your patience."

It appears that tonight's outage is pretty far-reaching and causing a lot of trouble for PS4 users, although PS3 and PS Vita are not currently included in the list of affected devices.
