PlayStation Network Goes Down Unexpectedly

By Josiah Renaudin on June 9, 2012@JosiahRenaudin

Though no scheduled maintenance has been noted by Sony, PSN is currently offline. Youtube and Netflix are said to be working as usual, but online gaming is currently unavailable.

Some users have stated that they’re unable sign into the Network, explaining that the error 8071053D is causing the issue. Greg Miller of IGN fame seems to be on the case, though.

Yes, I too am unable to sign into the @PlayStation Network. Error 8071053D (Rebooting everything doesn’t work). Working on answers… #myign

We here at StickSkills will let you know more about this unexplained outage as details arise.

UPDATE #1:

It seems like Sony’s on the cast, too.

We are aware that some of you are having issues accessing PSN, and we’re working to restore service to all. Thank you for your patience.

— PlayStation (@PlayStation) June 9, 2012

UPDATE #2:

A few of the users in the comments below, as well as some Tweets on my stream have pointed out that the service is back online. I’m contacting Sony now for a confirmation that the Network is back up worldwide.

UPDATE #3:

And there we have it.

PSN users should now be able to sign back in. Thank you for your continued patience as we work to restore full functionality.

Thank you to everyone in the comments for keeping me updated. Now, go enjoy PSN!

When not writing about all the latest and greatest happenings in the video game industry, you can find Josiah on PSN, XBLA or Steam (Lionheart377). He has a soft spot for classic, turn-based RPGs, but also spends a great deal of time jumping from platform to platform and shooting dudes in the head.

PS3 is definitely worth the cash, PSN rarely goes down and they don’t ask you to pay for it unlike Microsoft, so what if the servers go down for a day, this only happens like maybe once every 6 months if that, I wish the best of luck to getting this fixed and I will wait patiently, thanks a lot for the awesome service!

It is also telling me to change my password. PSN are always having network problems. If I would have known this happens a lot, I would have kept my Xbox 360.

Just keep trying guys, i tried signing in and it told me my password was invalid and the only option i had after that was to back out of that message to another one saying i’d been signed out due to an error, kept trying to sign in and the same thing happened like 4/5 times and eventually let me sign in. Modern Warfare 3 servers back up too if anyone noticed they were down
