News: Sony has revealed that PSN will be down for part of the day on Thursday during Gamescom.

PSN is going down for maintenance later this week according to Sony. Thursday, August 22, is the day the PlayStation Network won’t be available, right in the middle of Gamescom. Sony had the following to say:

----------

In order to continue bringing you the best online games experience on PSN, we will perform routine maintenance beginning Thursday, August 22nd. This maintenance will start at approximately 12:00 Noon PT (1:00PM MT / 2:00PM CT / 3:00PM ET) and last until around 6:30PM PT (7:30PM MT / 8:30PM CT / 9:30PM ET). During the maintenance period, you may receive a maintenance notification when attempting to access PSN.

The PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home and Account Management will not be available during the maintenance period but you WILL be able to access online play and apps provided that you have signed in to the Network at some point between now and the time of the maintenance. So please be sure to sign in now if you wish to access the Network during Thursday’s maintenance window.

Be sure to adjust your plans accordingly if you were planning on using PSN during those times. Do you think we will see less of this once PS4 launches? Tell us what you think below.
