Play On – PSN Restoration Begins Now

Thank you for your patience and encouragement over the last few weeks. As covered in the post from earlier today, you can now update the firmware on your PS3 and change your password. Kazuo Hirai just announced that we have begun the phased restoration by region of some of the services, starting with online multiplayer functionality.

Please note that these services will take a bit of time to be turned on and rolled out to the whole country. The process has begun and some states are being turned on now, so please be patient as we reach your city and state. We’ll be updating the map below as service comes online in individual states. It will take several hours to restore PSN throughout the entire country, so please keep checking back for the latest updates. In the meantime, now’s a great time to get your PS3’s firmware updated, which is required to get online.

PSN-US-Wave-6

Map updated 12:03m Pacific

Notice: If your state is illuminated but your service has not yet been restored, please be patient – it can take a little while for the servers to populate fully.

Until we get the comments functioning correctly, we’re putting all comments on hold. I’m sure Jitender would appreciate not having people put words in his mouth ^_^

In the meantime, we’ll keep updating the map, and those of you already back online – enjoy some games!

  • i cant believe former ps3 user changed there ps3 for an xbox.wheres the loyalty on that.but eitherway thanks ps3 for bringing the online back to the real loyal ps3 users

  • PSN I BACK OMG I LOVE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • Get the PS Store back up, i have to redeem my battle code for Homefront cause i got it after the server went out.

  • Thank you Sony for working so hard to bring the PSN back ASAP.

    Really wanted to post during the outage to thank you as you worked so hard to resume PSN services, and provide improved data security.

    I saw a lot of complaining during the outage but I’m glad you didn’t rush things just because people were getting impatient.

    Special thanks to Patrick Seybold for keeping us informed of developments during the outage… Kind of got the feeling that it was becoming a bit of a thankless task as he became the emotional punching bag for people tired of waiting for PSN services to resume!

  • So the map is green. Got the notification to change my password. I did so. Tried to log in, still got the PSN down for maintenance message and I’m in Canada. Sony What they HELL?

  • finally back on. i can even leave comments. wonder when the store will be back

  • I must say though,had the outage persisted much longer i was starting to think i might read the following headline in the news soon.

    “Uber loser hangs himself with wireless controller” “Parents sue sony”

  • Ok, i’m happy its up and all but i was watchin last night and it had new york and up hilated i live in PA so i was exited then it went to calafornia and it made me mad so plz dont just skip them!!!

  • wow koool add me to play AC brotherhood

  • Anyone know whats up with the restoration map, why some states are dark and others are light green, maybe that means that the dark green are fully ready and light means still in process IDK

  • add me!

  • Good to be back, just waiting on the PSN Store now.

  • This is has to be a great day, the day a company awaken again

  • Wow Sony. Thank you. You made sure that our info was safe after the last few weeks. I wish you have opened up the services earlier so that the people who wanted to go online and get hacked again could get hacked. I would be smart and make sure that all the services were restored before going online. As my mom just said, “It was smart that PlayStation Network kept it off for a few weeks because if it was up quickly, it might down again by now.” Well I’m off to play some games! :D

  • Thx sony you rock cant wait to get the free stufff :D

  • soo the store is coming back up at the end of the month? need to download all my DLC’s again….

  • LEGENDKILLA_2N4U

  • And i do not want to do it again or ill sell the ps3 for a xbox ok!!!

  • I know the sad part about people that ditched there PS3’s for xbox360’s is that Xbox360 had this same ordeal happen to them last year and they were down and out for 2 weeks plus i love how people are so quick to bash Sony when then same thing has happened to Microsoft think before you speak lmfao

  • my ps3 wont update ???????

  • @Ton-Bonez

    Where’d you get that Zero avatar? Do they have an X one also? Obviously I’d have to wait for the PS Store to come back up, assuming that’s where it is.

    @Cam8059

    The reason it said “FAILED” when connecting to the PSN in the Network test is because you don’t have your password saved on your system. Am I right that you type it in everytime you log on (like me)? That’s really the only reason it says that. All I can say is wait it out, sorry. Hope you get online soon. :)

  • its up in michigan

  • I love how some people are never satisfied. I’m glad that PSN is back up I font mind the store being down so Sony can take it’s time with that too. Yay psn is finally up!!
