Will not connect to psn

Hi, I’m having a bit of trouble even starting the game. My brother suggested the game to me so we could play together, since we don’t see each other often. Everytime I open the application and click continue, after about a minute, it pops up and says it “can not connect to PlayStation network, please try again later”. I’ve tried everything I can think of, disconnecting the internet and reconnecting, changed the parental setting, even logged out of my psn and logged back in and nothing seems to work. Can y’all help? Thanks!
