Fix: Amazon Prime Video Not Working on PS3 & PS4 & PS5

Experiencing problems while streaming Amazon Prime Video on your PS3 can be frustrating. Go through this troubleshooting guide to fix your nuisance and get back to enjoying your favourite content immediately. The following eight methods are also applicable to fixing PS4 and PS5 Amazon Prime Video not working situations.

#1 Check if Prime Video Service is Down

You need to confirm whether there is an outage of the Prime Video service that makes Prime Video unavailable on PlayStation devices. The following websites can display the current status of Prime Video: Down for Everyone or Just Me, Downdetector, and Is It Down Right Now. If it is confirmed that the Prime Video service is down, then you need to wait for Amazon's engineering team to fix it.

#2 Check the Internet Connection

An unstable network connection may cause Prime Video playback to be interrupted or fail to load, so you need to check the current network conditions. PlayStation comes with a function to test the Internet connection: "Settings" > "Network" > "Test Internet Connection". From this, you need to confirm whether the current download and upload speeds meet the needs of watching Prime Video videos.

#3 Close and Restart the Amazon Prime Video App

Closing and restarting the app can sometimes resolve temporary issues and fix underlying problems. Choose "Media" on your PS5 or "TV/Video" on your PS4/PS3. Select the Prime Vide app, hit the Options button, and choose "Close Application" option.

Update the Prime Video app to the latest version to fix possible bugs and issues in previous versions. To check for updates for Amazon Prime Video app, go the Home screen first. Find and highlight the Prime Video app and press the Options button on your controller. Select "Check for Update" option.

#5 Check for System Updates

It is equally important to check for system updates, which not only fix bugs and issues, but also improve system stability and responsiveness. Use the remote control to open the Settings menu. The system update option on PS3 is "System Update", on PS4 it is "System Software Update", on PS5 it is "System"> "Select System Software" > "System Software Update and Settings".

#6 Reinstall the Amazon Prime Video App

Reinstalling the Amazon Prime Video app can repair some corrupted files and reset the configuration. With the Amazon Prime Video app highlighted, press the Options button on your controller.
