PS4 Error NP-31952-0 Prevents Party Chats

An odd new error code, called NP-31952-0, has popped up for the PlayStation 4 and affects those looking to create a party chat or joining other party chats. Not only will you not be able to create a party chat but you’ll be booted out of the ones you join.

Discussed here on Reddit, the error can seemingly be corrected by making “an Internet connection test in the Settings menu ‘network’. After testing your connection it should work to create or join a party chat.”

However, the lack of an official solution from Sony is somewhat odd. The user facing the problem in question stated that he had “reset my router/modem and restarted my PS4 and now am getting error NP-32287-2.” So clearly some common solutions aren’t working out, and it appears the problem is being faced by a few other people.

Have you encountered error NP-31952-0 yet while trying to create a new party chat? Let us know in the comments.
