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.

JoGam3522d ago (Edited 3522d 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_Darkness3522d 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 Raiders3522d 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.

Elimin83522d ago

it says undergoing maintenance for me.

AngelicIceDiamond3522d ago

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

nX3522d ago

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

Boody-Bandit3522d ago (Edited 3522d 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.

XBLSkull3521d 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

Deividas3522d ago (Edited 3522d 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.

MrSwankSinatra3522d ago

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

TheBrit3522d ago (Edited 3522d ago )

oh well....

donthate3522d 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:

Str8Chaos743522d ago (Edited 3522d ago )

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

Crazay3522d 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.

jts18913522d ago

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

Mkai283522d 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!!

TheSaint3522d ago

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

NatureOfLogic_3522d ago

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

radler3522d 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.

Jonny5isalive3522d 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-Hero3522d 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 :(

Codewow3522d 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-Hero3522d ago

but the PS Plus icon is gone !

Pen153522d ago (Edited 3522d 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.

Codewow3522d ago (Edited 3522d 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.

bluzone3522d 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.

nX3522d ago

Set your console as primary, it should work then.

xActionBasturdx3522d 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

wsoutlaw873522d 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.

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.

Nineball21123522d ago

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

"Sony Entertainment Network is currently undergoing maintenance"

zsquaresoff3522d ago (Edited 3522d ago )

Yup it's down here in Dubai as well.

Got the maintainace message.

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows906h ago(Edited 6h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

-Foxtrot4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

mkis0074h ago

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Michiel19894h ago

the score on metacritic is 71 from journos, its 9 points lower than your review so stop making stuff up. They didn't hate it from the start, they on average just liked it slightly less than you.

-Foxtrot4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

@Michiel1989

I'm not making anything up, they held a grudge against it and made stuff up themselves like mkis007 has just pointed out. That 71 on Metacritic is why it didn't get a sequel.

Anyway how can I make anything up when I didn't even mention metacritic in my original post?

Leeroyw6h ago

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno5h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.

andy854h ago

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
