An allegedly coordinated Christmas day hack brought down the gaming
consoles, both hot gifts for the holiday season, although Xbox has been
working at near full capacity since Friday.
"PlayStation Network and some other gaming services were attacked over the holidays with artificially high levels of traffic designed to disrupt connectivity and online gameplay," Catherine Jensen, vice president of consumer experience for Sony's California-based US division, said in a blog post late yesterday.
"PlayStation Network is back online," she added.
Meanwhile all except three of Xbox's applications have been up and running since Friday.
Game users took to Twitter to celebrate PlayStation's return.
"Was just about to pack this ps4 up and trade it towards an xboxone. Just in time." Twitter user @xander63090 posted.
Hacker group Lizard Squad took credit for the disruption and has targeted Sony in the past.
