Bans and suspensions on PlayStation Network
What are the different ban and suspension types?
Suspensions are temporary. A ban is permanent and cannot be lifted. You may receive a notification email depending on the reason for the ban or suspension.
- System bans / suspensions
If a PlayStation system has been banned or suspended, no local user accounts on the system will be able to sign in to PlayStation Network. This means the system cannot be used for online gaming through PlayStation Network, accessing PlayStation Store or managing accounts. Individual accounts can be used to access PlayStation Network on other PlayStation systems, provided the specific accounts have not been banned or suspended.
- Account bans/suspensions
An account-specific ban or suspension prevents that account from signing in to PlayStation Network on any PlayStation system or other device.
How do I find out the reason for a ban?
Check the notification email sent to your Sign-in ID email address. Please note that Customer Support can only tell you the general reason for the ban or suspension, as shown in the notification email, and will not enter into further discussion.
If you find that you have been banned but have not been sent a notification email, please contact customer support. To find the appropriate number, type “ban” into the search bar here and follow the on-screen instructions.
Can a ban or suspension be lifted?
Every ban and suspension on PlayStation Network is the result of a thorough investigation by Sony moderation staff. As a result, bans and suspensions are final and cannot be disputed unless:
- You have been suspended for an account debt. This will be lifted once you have paid off the balance.
