Sony’s (SNE) PlayStation Network was down on Tuesday.
According to Sony, PlayStation Network was down on Tuesday due to “heavy traffic”. The company said that the traffic started causing lag for several players before it grew to the point that there was an outage, reports International Business Times.
The PlayStation Network outage started at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday. The company reports that the service was back up at 9:34 p.m. Eastern Time, but International Business Times claims it didn’t come back on until almost four hours later.
