"In addition, you will not be able to sign in to PlayStation Network from eu.playstation.com," say Sony in a statement.

The maintenance is expected to end at 00:50 on Tuesday 26 August.

Players will still be able to collect in-game trophies during this time and they will be put onto profiles once the PSN goes back online.
