LONDON — Sony’s PlayStation Network was down for hours on Tuesday, frustrating gamers around the world who complained they couldn’t log into their accounts.

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 doing our best to resolve the problem as quickly as possible,” the spokesperson said. Sony did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Data from Downdetector, an outage tracker, showed reports first peaked late Monday and continued into early Tuesday, with thousands of reports filed hours after the problem first emerged.

The outage was resolved in the US by morning, and the PlayStation Network website was updated with the message: “All services are running.”
