SOE titles affected by the downtime across both PC and PlayStation 3 include DC Universe Online, FreeRealms and EverQuest II.
Last week SOE moved to assure its users that the PSN security breach had little effect on its services.
"We have been conducting a thorough investigation and, to the best of our knowledge, no customer personal information got out to any unauthorised person or persons," said SOE director of community relations Linda Carlson.
"We are continuing that investigation and monitoring the situation carefully; should the situation change, we will of course promptly notify you."
Yesterday Sony announced a series of "welcome back" offers for PlayStation users in the wake of the massive PSN hack that has compromised users' personal details and kept the service offline for more than a week.
