PlayStation Network Down in Several Countries With Sluggish Download Speeds

Before, we reported an upshot in Batman Arkham Knights PS4 leaderboards and it might have depicted that the outcome was an in-game problem. Although information technology still might exist an in-game effect but that cannot be the but reason as reports are coming in suggest that there is an issue with Sony's PlayStation Network.

Just when we were surprised that the PSN was upward and running with any recent outage, the online PlayStation network has taken another hitting. While this may non be the case for all (as many players are not experiencing whatsoever anomaly in their PSN experience), but its is still a widespread outcome and the official PlayStation condition page notes that players "may be experiencing problems related to launching sure games or game functionality. This is due to factors external to PSN. We are tracking the progress of the resolution of the outcome."

The Outcome With Batman Arkham Knight Might Just Be The PlayStation Network

The fact that this outage is an external outage may seem alarming only the PSN has been hacked in the past with multiple DDOS attacks like the one's back on christmas past a group of hackers named the lizard squad. Sony has managed to recover from those and hopefully this effect may not be nearly as large.

The outage has been specifically apparent this week with download times existence multiplied several times. People have been reporting a download time of 12 hours for the day-one patch of Batman Arkham Knight which happens to be only 3.5GB large. This seemingly, is too affecting the online Sony gaming feel so it might not exist a bad time to invite a couple of your mates for an offline multiplayer.

Currently the official PlayStation page mentions another upcoming maintenance. The details are every bit follows:

"Routine maintenance and improvements for PlayStation Network will be performed for approximately 1.five hours on Monday, June 29, nine:30 PM PDT (June 30, 4:30 AM GMT) to June 29, 11:00 PM PDT (June 30, 6:00 AM GMT).
