PSN Appears To Be Down On PS4 With NW-31201-7 Error

The dreaded NW-31201-7 error has shown up for those signing into PS4, which means that the servers may be unavailable. This doesn’t appear to be the case on PS3, however, as users are able to sign in there.

I'm on PSN right now. Nothing wrong in Chicago.

JoGam3554d ago (Edited 3554d ago )

Im online too, until I try to connect to a multiplayer game. It says I need to subscribe to Playstation Plus. I have Plus till Dec of this year.

Army_of_Darkness3554d ago

Wtf Sony?! This crap better be resolved before I get home from work this evening. Otherwise I'm gonna punch my 360 in the face cause I don't want to damage my ps4......

Maddens Raiders3554d ago

Can't play bf4 and can't download any PS+content without getting this error message or a message telling me I need to subscribe to ps+ when I'm already a subscriber. Just came home early to jump into some Altai Range or Guilin Peaks mp only to be denied. Am disappoint.

Elimin83554d ago

it says undergoing maintenance for me.

AngelicIceDiamond3554d ago

Yeah its unfortunate. Hopefully Sony can resolve the issue in a timely manner.

nX3554d ago

I played TLOU online during the last two hours, mine worked fine until 5mins ago. Now it's time for a break :)

Boody-Bandit3554d ago (Edited 3554d ago )

I'm good here in Philadelphia Pa.
I've been okay the past couple hours. Maybe intermittent. Watch now that I posted this it will kick me off PSN.

XBLSkull3553d ago

It's beyond sad that all it takes is a game release to crash PSN. Stuff like this just goes to show how starting XBL on the original Xbox has put XBL a generation ahead of PSN and it will likely always be this way.

Right outside of Chicago I'm down

Deividas3554d ago (Edited 3554d ago )

Its errors for downloading, purchasing, and adding funds mostly...due to Minecraft. And now Sony is working on a fix hence why there is some maintenance.

MrSwankSinatra3554d ago

Sony needs to work on getting more data centers, this is beyond ridiculous.

TheBrit3554d ago (Edited 3554d ago )

oh well....

donthate3554d ago

swank:

Sony has a history of issues like first PSN gets hacked and shut down, then they get DDOS by LizardSquad then they turn their cannon at MS, but instead they praise MS:

Str8Chaos743554d ago (Edited 3554d ago )

Well Microsoft is much more competent with networking than SONY, as it is one of the core components of their business.

Crazay3554d ago

1 game release should not be able to bring down their service. No matter who it is. I swear to god if next week Destiny brings down any service my head is going to pop

Because there is no problem. I'm getting sick of these fake click bait articles slandering Sony and PSN. I've been playing all day and not once have I experienced an issue. Anybody can say that any service is down without any proof and people believe it. I can do it too. Xbox Live has been hacked and is down.

jts18913554d ago

...Dude, it was on the official Sony support site.

Mkai283553d ago

Sir, we detained your best friend for stealing..
Killzoner99: He would never do something like that!
We got him on tape, see?
Killzoner99: That doesn't look like him!
Best friend: They caught me stealing.
Killzoner99: LIAR!!

TheSaint3553d ago

This is getting a bit much now, I can handle the odd outage but it's becoming commonplace.

NatureOfLogic_3554d ago

If Minecraft can do this to the entire network, I can only imagine what Destiny release will do to the servers.

radler3554d ago

The amount of downtime and service interruptions that the PSN and Xbox Live have had this past year is utterly ridiculous and inexcusable. These companies insist that people pay a monthly fee to play games online, but neither of them can run a stable service. It's absurd and it saddens me that people will happily accept it and keep handing over money.

Jonny5isalive3554d ago

I promise you it will happen and I mentioned it before. Its what happened to 360 xmas 2007. Tons of new owners playing COD and halo 3 with us previous owners. I couldnt log on to play COD on xmas day but at night it worked fine.

With ps4 being the most popular console its for sure going to have tons of new owners on xmas this year, I hope they beef up their servers before then. I dont think sony is the type to anticipate such huge success in regards to servers for GAMING, not streaming. It just seems like they wait till there's a problem to do something. hope im wrong about that tho.

Am-No-Hero3554d ago

Man i was playing Velocity 2X then they kicked me out of it and locked the game ?!!! WTF even my Plus gone !! still there are 2 months remaining :(

Codewow3554d ago

You do know Playstation plus and internet is required to play all PS+ acquired games. So technically, those games aren't free.

Am-No-Hero3554d ago

but the PS Plus icon is gone !

Pen153554d ago (Edited 3554d ago )

Weirdly enough, my Plus icon has been gone for a while. I have Plus until December as well.

Edit: Someone disagreed with me? Okay.

Edit 2: Currently downloading.

Codewow3554d ago (Edited 3554d ago )

It seems you are experiencing quite the conundrum. Give it a bit of time before jumping to any sort of conclusion. Let Sony fix their problems and see if it fixes yours. If the servers are down and you can't connect, there's no way for a verification packet to be received on either end.

bluzone3554d ago

@Codewow not intending to call you out.
but you don't need internet to play PS+ games.
Just unplug your modem and try it. It works no problem.
Cheers Later.

nX3554d ago

Set your console as primary, it should work then.

xActionBasturdx3554d ago

Yea i was without the internet for a day when my modem went out fron a lightning strike but i was still able to play mercenary kings without a problem

wsoutlaw873554d ago

internet is not required to play plus games as long as you are on the primary playstation. It only checks like once a month.

OmegaShen3554d ago

Got done playing it, unlock the rifle. It shows I got Plus, all Plus/Free games I can play. But games I brought through PSN, well they are locked.

Nineball21123554d ago

When I try to check my messages on my phone app, I get the following message:

"Sony Entertainment Network is currently undergoing maintenance"

zsquaresoff3554d ago (Edited 3554d ago )

Yup it's down here in Dubai as well.

Got the maintainace message.

God of War Needs to Redefine Kratos' Purpose Clearly and Quickly

Whatever form the next God of War game takes, it needs to be clear about what role Kratos is playing, lest the franchise lose direction.

I'm pretty sure it'd be a major mistake having Atreus as the main character in the next GoW. Seems to me like at best people tolerate him and his gameplay sections.

Ideally the story for the next game would be that Atreus has gone missing in Egypt, Kratos gets mad about it, picks up Mimir and goes on a god killing rampage.

Mad_Matt8h ago

If that is an option for the dev team then they need to make it a clean slate. No Atreus, No Mimir. That's what happened when he changed pantheons before. Lets Kratos be in that world. But it will be a difficult task to complete. Kratos and his past demons are getting a bit redundant as far as story telling goes.

Nacho_Z7h ago

Yeah there's not a lot of meat left on the bone story wise. Personally I'd happily accept any goofy reason they could come up with for why Kratos is in Egypt chopping off heads. I'm personally not that bothered about the finer points of the storytelling, although they do it well.

Lionsguard4h ago

They need to bring back the "God of War" in God of War. I was expecting to unleash hell and fury in Asgard against Thor that they really talked up in the first game but all we got was brooding middle aged dad drunk in a beer hall. Ragnarok was still "good" but I left that game expecting a lot more.

InUrFoxHole4h ago

Tried Rag... just couldn't get into it. Felt like more of the same. I would welcome a Kratos only game again.

Why The Mass Effect Series Is Still The Best Western RPG Trilogy

The Mass Effect trilogy shines as one of the only Western RPGs to give an immersive and unforgettable experience.

Terry_B1d 14h ago

Your Opinion is wrong. (Witcher ftw)

Sonic18811d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

The Witcher trilogy is my favorite but I know everything is subjective.

thorstein1d 11h ago

Balder's Gate trilogy is the best.

shinoff218313h ago

There's much better wrpg series. Mass effect dumbed down after the first one. Seemed a but different going from the 1st to the second, not in a good way.

Knightofelemia11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

My favorite trilogy will be the Ar Tonelico trilogy, Xenosaga trilogy followed by the ME trilogy.

Nittdarko11h ago

How can it be the best trilogy when the 3rd one is terrible and the only thing it had going for it was the multiplayer?
Considering all 3 witcher games are better
Considering all 3 Dragon age games are better
Considering all 3 Baldur's gate games are better

Weird choice

ChasterMies8h ago

Witcher 1 looks like ass. Until we see a transfer, there is no getting around it.

Are Dragon Age games and Baldur’s Gate games a continuation of the same story or at least the same character? Even still, need some connection to make a trilogy. Lord of the Rings is a trilogy. Star Wars is a trilogy. James Bond 1-3 is not a trilogy. It’s just more movies with James Bond.

banger881h ago

Origins was good. Really good. DAII was absolute shite, and Inquisition wasn't much better.
