The latest PSN outage comes one day after PlayStation Network went down for hundreds of users.
While on Tuesday PSN went down for thousands of PS4, PS3 and PS Vita fans in a major outage.
On Thursday this week popular online game Fortnite also suffered server issues, with the game offline for 14 hours.
Fortnite originally went down to prepare for the rollout patch V.2.3.0 which brought with it bug fixes, Battle Royale changes and finished up a event.
However, the Fortnite server downtime, which started around 9am, went on for much longer than anticipated.
Epic Games said during the downtime the Fortnite database ended up going into a “bad state”.
They took the decision to restore it from backup, but the first attempt failed – so they had to try and do it a second time.
At around 11pm GMT on Thursday, Fortnite finally came back online – much to the delight of Battle Royale fans.
When Fortnite went down, Epic Games published a detailed post explaining why it was offline for so long.
In a forum post they revealed: “During our downtime to upgrade to 2.3, we were performing recommended tasks to resolve a lingering database issue.
“Those tasks ended up causing the database to go into a bad state.
“After significant consideration, we decided our best option was to restore from a backup at the moment we took the servers down for the patch.
“Our first restore failed (due to issues unrelated with the quality of the backup) and we’re working on a second attempt at the restore.”
