Sony's gaming network suffered a massive outage on October 1 with PlayStation gamers facing widespread issues in Australia and overseas.
The official PSN Service Status page confirmed problems affecting multiple consoles including PS Vita, PS3, PS4, PS5 and the Web.
The disruption led to errors in the loading system of games, apps, and network features.
The latest update at 11am on October 1 says gamers "might have difficulty signing in or creating an account for PlayStation Network".
"We're working to resolve the issue as soon as possible," the message says. "Thank you for your patience."
The PlayStation store was also down.
There was no estimated recovery time and no word on what was causing the issue.
The PlayStation network has, according to Sony, an estimated 110 million registered users, and over 103 million active users monthly.
The outage comes as all Australian states and territories besides Queensland are on school holidays.
Gamers discussing the outage have begun trending across social media.
