Sony’s PlayStation Network went down for hours on Tuesday, frustrating gamers around the world who were complaining about not being able to log into their accounts.

The PlayStation Network said on its website that “some services are experiencing issues” and that players “may have difficulty” logging in, creating accounts, launching games or obtaining video content.

“We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible,” he said. Sony did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Data from Downdetector, an outage tracker, showed that reports first spiked late Monday and continued early Tuesday with thousands of reports submitted within hours of the problem appearing.

The outage was resolved in the morning in the United States and the Playstation Network website was updated with a message saying: “All services are operational.”
