PlayStation Network Maintenance Scheduled for Thursday

[Administrator]

Ahead of the upcoming PlayStation 4 free play weekend, Sony will perform regular maintenance on the PlayStation Network, the company has announced.
The network maintenance is scheduled for Thursday, February 12 from 9 AM-12:30 PM PDT. That's 12 Noon-3:30 PM EDT or 5 PM-10 PM UK.
"During this time we will deploy a series of back-end improvements to the network," Sony said in a statement posted to the PlayStation Support website. This is the same exact wording Sony has used to describe the most recent PlayStation Network maintenance periods, suggesting the upcoming upkeep is nothing out of the ordinary.
PlayStation Network users who have signed into PSN before the maintenance period begins will still be able to play games online and access entertainment apps such as Netflix throughout the downtime.


However, the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home (which itself is soon going away for good), and Account Management will not be available during the maintenance period.
"We thank you for your patience and support and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause," Sony said.
