Lizard Squad attacks
Meanwhile, the outage on the PlayStation network follows one on Microsoft Xbox network, which was down for at least a day last week.
Lizard Squad also claimed it was behind the attack.
The Xbox network was hit with a DDOS, or a distributed denial of service attack, which overloaded the system, stopping users from getting online.
The hacker group had then said that its Xbox attack was just "a small dose" of what was to come over the Christmas season.
Lizard Squad has claimed responsibility for attacks that have taken high-profile targets like EA games and Destiny offline in the past.
Known as Lizard Patrol on Twitter, the anonymous collective has a Russian-based website.
