Sony PlayStation Network Undergoing Routine Maintenance After Weekend Download Issues

Coming into the weekend, Sony's online system, the PlayStation Network, has been experiencing some rough technical issues. The biggest being download times. Anybody who tried downloading Batman: Arkham Knight was stuck waiting hours for it to finish. Other issues included error messages when trying to load up multiplayer releases such as Call of Duty, Destiny and others. Even those who were running single player adventures that require online pay were met with issues. Those issues have since been fixed and Sony will be undergoing maintenance this Monday.

Sony did not say what the issue was, just that the routine maintenance will be occurring several times throughout the next few days.

"Routine maintenance and improvements for PlayStation Network will be performed for approximately 1.5 hours on Monday, June 29, 9:30 p.m. PDT (June 30, 4:30 a.m. GMT) to June 29, 11:00 p.m. PDT (June 30, 6:00 a.m. GMT). Anyone who already has a PlayStation Network account can still sign in to their PlayStation Network profile, play games, and use most applications while this maintenance is carried out," Sony said on their page.

During this time users won't be able to access certain features such as PlayStation Video and Account Management on their PSN accounts. All other features will still be okay according to them. Sony advises anybody with a PlayStation 4 should turn on their system before the maintenance.

"We strive to ensure that PlayStation Network services are available at all times," the company continued. "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."
