Sony’s PlayStation Network suffered a significant outage on Tuesday, leaving gamers unable to access their accounts, impacting gamers around the world.

The outage started late Monday and lasted until Tuesday morning. According to the PlayStation Network website, the company acknowledged that “some services are experiencing issues” and that players “may have difficulty” logging in, creating accounts, launching games or obtaining video content.

Although Sony quickly assured users that they were working to resolve the issue, no immediate explanation was given.

“We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible,” the company said.

The widespread frustration among gamers was reflected on social media and Downdetector, an outage tracker, where thousands of outage reports were filed within hours of the problem surfacing.

Sony updated its status page in the US on Tuesday morning, announcing that “all services are up and running.” The company has not yet provided further details on what caused the outage or how to prevent similar issues in the future.

Newsweek reached out to Sony via email Tuesday morning for comment.

The Verge, a technology news website, reported Tuesday that Sony’s PlayStation outage “lasted about eight hours” but now “appears to be largely resolved,” although some users are still writing on social media about ongoing problems.

Sony’s outage comes a day after service provider Verizon made national headlines after it also suffered a major outage with users in the United States reporting service issues on Monday.

In response, Verizon said Monday that engineers have begun working to fix the problem.

“Verizon engineers are making progress on our network issue and service is being restored. We know how many people rely on Verizon and we apologize for any inconvenience some of our customers may have experienced today,” the company said Monday on X, formerly Twitter . evening.

“We continue to work around the clock to fully resolve this issue.”

Downdetector reported that Verizon users began reporting early Monday morning that they were experiencing issues, including phones being “stuck in SOS mode.”

In an initial response, Verizon said shortly before Monday afternoon that its engineers were working on the problem. The national regulator, the Federal Communications Commission, has also opened an investigation into the outage.

“We are aware of an outage at Verizon that is impacting customers in parts of the country. We are working to determine the cause and extent of these service disruptions,” the FCC wrote on X on Monday.
