The PlayStation Network (PSN) has been experiencing a major outage, leaving thousands of gamers unable to access their favorite titles. The disruption, which began on Friday night, has impacted key PSN services, including gaming, social features, PlayStation Store, and even offline single-player games due to license verification issues.
Gamers Left in the Dark
According to DownDetector, more than 71,000 reports flooded in as users voiced their frustration. Popular games like Fortnite, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, and Marvel Rivals became inaccessible, while many players found themselves locked out of their own digital game libraries.
Dallas-based gamer Jeff Thigpen shared his disappointment, stating,
"Paying a monthly fee for their service is one thing, but not being able to play games we've purchased is beyond frustrating."
A Bad Weekend for a Major Outage
The timing couldn’t have been worse for the gaming community. This weekend featured a Monster Hunter Wild free beta and a double XP event in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, making the outage particularly frustrating for players looking to take advantage of these limited-time events.
Gaming enthusiast Connor Clarke from the Sheffield Games Collective noted,
"Outages like this usually last a couple of hours, but this one has been over 12 hours. Many players are understandably upset."
PlayStation's Response
Sony has acknowledged the issue on its support page, assuring users that they are working on a fix. However, as of now, there is no official timeline for when full service will be restored.
