This maintenance will affect all major Sony platforms, including PS4, PS3 and PS Vita.
Here’s the latest from Sony, who confirm: “Anyone who already has an account can still sign in to their PlayStation Network profile, play games, and use most applications while this maintenance is carried out.
“You will not be able to access PlayStation Video, PlayStation Store, PlayStation Music, Account Management, Gaming And Social, PlayStation Now, and PlayStation Vue during this maintenance.
“We apologize for any inconvenience. We recommend activating your PS4 as your primary console before maintenance begins so you can continue to play most games and use 3rd party services during maintenance.
“To activate your console, sign in to your PlayStation™Network profile and select [Settings] > [Account Management] > [Activate as Your Primary PS4] > [Activate].
“You only need to do this once. We strive to ensure that PlayStation Network services are available at all times, but occasionally we must take PlayStation Network offline to perform essential maintenance and implement feature enhancements.
“We are working hard to reduce the duration of each maintenance.”
Sony will provide an update if maintenance is extended on PS4, PS4 and PS Vita.
