PlayStation Network is suffering a major outage – its second in one week.
PS4 players have been left unable to sign-in or use network features, including online multiplayer due to a server issue.
The PlayStation Server Status has confirmed the outage, which is believed to have started around 10:10am GMT.
"Some services are experiencing issues," the webpage currently displays.
"Our engineers are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible, and we thank you for your patience."
The ongoing PlayStation Network outage prevents players from signing-in or creating a new PlayStation Network account.

It comes just days after PSN was hit by a similar outage, as fans were greeted with maintenance error messages.
That was despite the fact that there was no scheduled maintenance confirmed for that day.
Fans reported (WS-37432-9) error codes, although the problem was fixed in relatively short period of time.
Perhaps it's connected to the new PS4 update, which is currently being tested by beta members.
Just days after revealing this month's PS Plus games, Sony announced external HDD support for the PlayStation 4.

It's also good news for PS4 Pro owners, after NeoGAF has uncovered plans to introduce a Boost Mode for PS4 Pro.
This would give all games a frame rate upgrade, even if they haven't been given an official PS4 Pro patch.
While the PS4 Pro Boost Mode is yet to be officially announced, Sony has revealed other new features, such as custom wallpapers for the menu screen, a quick menu refresh and status updates.
