Heads up PlayStation gamers, Sony's planned maintenance for PlayStation Network is happening today.
"In order to continue to deliver you the best online games experience, we will be performing maintenance to upgrade the software for the PlayStation Store," the company said.
Maintenance is set to being today at 9:00am PT (12:00pm ET) and is scheduled to end at 2:00pm PT (5:00pm ET). During this period, you will be unable to access the PlayStation Store or PlayStation Home and may receive a message that reads "Sony Entertainment is undergoing maintenance."
However, if you have signed in to PSN within the last five days, you still may — and Sony emphasizes "may" — be able to play games online and enjoy apps such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Music Unlimited. As always, we'll keep you updated with the status of PSN and the maintenance.
