Sony Gives Update On Lengthy PSN Maintenance

Sony has provided an update for the lengthy PSN maintenance that’s been ongoing since yesterday, making known that everything should be a go by 9:00 pm tonight, (12:00am UK). More details inside.

We are currently performing maintenance to upgrade the software for the PlayStation Network from January 17-18th. This maintenance is scheduled to end around 9:00pm PDT (12:00am Eastern) Friday January 18th.

During this maintenance period, you may receive a message that states “Sony  Entertainment Network is undergoing maintenance” when attempting to access the PlayStation Network, PlayStation Store, or PlayStation Home.

If you have signed in to PSN within 5 days prior to the start of maintenance (meaning: any time since January 12), you may be able to play games online and enjoy apps such as Netflix, HULU Plus and Music Unlimited during this maintenance period.

Note: During our current maintenance some authenticated users may have lost access. We apologize for this inconvenience and are working hard to restore access as soon as possible.

Sony said if there are any changes, they’ll post another update to inform the public. Three more hours, then. Hold tight!
