PlayStation Network (PSN) isn't available everywhere across the world. The gaming service is currently accessible to only 73 countries out of 191, which makes it severely limited. Those from unsupported regions are simply out of luck and will not be able to access a bunch of PlayStation features.
Thankfully, the PS4 and PS5 consoles aren't locked to any region. Moreover, users are allowed to create a PSN account as well. You can have both of them up and running until you want to purchase something from the PS Store like a video game or add-on. In such a case, you might create an account with fake credentials of a supported region. But doing so comes with risks, as Sony might ban your account if they detect that your login credentials aren't valid.
This makes things rather complex for gamers who just want to have some fun. In this article, we will list the countries where PSN is available and those where you can't access the service, so you can refer to it as you need.
