Is PlayStation Network down right now?

Yes. HostTracker lets you add any URL - including third-party services you depend on, not just your own website - as a monitored target, and notifies you automatically the moment it becomes unreachable. Before sending an alert, HostTracker re-verifies a failure from multiple locations in its 300+-location network, so you're notified about real, confirmed outages rather than a single location's momentary blip. The free plan checks two monitors every 30 minutes indefinitely at no cost; paid plans check as often as once a minute, with alerts available through SMS, email, voice call, and several messenger apps.

No - as of the most recent check, www.playstation.com is responding normally to HostTracker's monitoring network, and has been up for 17h 33m. Over the last 24 hours it recorded 100.00% uptime across 0 incidents. If it is failing for you specifically, the cause is local - your network, DNS cache, or a regional route - and the live probe results above will show which locations, if any, are affected.

Not necessarily. Sony's own status page tracks account management and the PlayStation Store as separate components, so it's a known pattern for sign-in to work normally while Store browsing, purchases or downloads are degraded on their own. Multiplayer and other account-based features can keep working the whole time. If only purchases are failing, that points at a Store-specific issue rather than a wider PSN outage.

That's usually the game's own servers, not PSN. Most online titles run separate multiplayer infrastructure through their publisher that sits on top of PSN rather than being part of it, so one game can be unreachable while sign-in, the Store and every other PSN-connected game work normally. Checking whether other online games connect fine is the quickest way to tell a single-title problem from an actual PSN outage.

Usually yes for the core account layer, since both consoles authenticate through the same PlayStation Network sign-in and account-management systems, so an outage there affects any device signed in. Console-specific bugs or app crashes are a separate matter and can affect one console generation without the other, so it's worth confirming whether the same problem shows up on both before assuming it's a full PSN outage.

It can be, but it's a narrower one than a full outage. Trophy syncing and other social features fall under a different component from account sign-in and the Store, so it's possible to play online normally with trophies simply not updating until that specific service recovers. It usually resolves once syncing catches up and doesn't indicate anything wrong with matchmaking or purchases.
