It a spate of news that’s becoming an all-too common occurrence, reports are surfacing online through social media channels that Sony’s PlayStation Network is suffering intermittent difficulties with connectivity.



Gamers who thought 2015 may usher in an era free of the connectivity issues that plagued the tail end of 2014 are unfortunately out of luck as website Down Detector has seen a substantial spike in reports that The PlayStation Network is down for many gamers as of the last hour or so. Players within Destiny have also complained as early as this morning.



Sony’s ‘Ask PlayStation’ Twitter has attempted to remedy concerns by relaying that engineers are currently attempting to offset the problem, and Sony’s own PlayStation website has PSN connectivity set at ”Intermittently available”.



We know that some users are experiencing issues signing into PSN – engineers are investigating. We’ll keep you posted. — Ask PlayStation (@AskPlayStation) February 5, 2015

There doesn’t seem to be anything malicious at hand, with server congestion the probable cause of the issues. Still, as ever, PlayStation Universe will keep gamers updated with any pertinent information as it arrives.
