PlayStation Network has been experiencing a significant outage, starting from late Friday night or early Saturday morning, depending on your time zone. As players worldwide find themselves unable to access online services for more than ten hours, frustration is mounting.
Sony is feeling the heat, with growing criticism as PSN issues persist. It took some time for the tech giant to confirm the outage, but when they did, the status page reflected a global shutdown of services. Gamers in regions such as Asia, Australia, and New Zealand have been left twiddling their thumbs, understandably upset about being locked out of their favorite hobby for a large chunk of their Saturday.
As of now, the PlayStation services impacted include:
– Account management
– Gaming and social features
– PlayStation Video
– PlayStation Store
– PlayStation Direct
For many players, particularly those with extensive digital libraries requiring license verification, this downtime translates to not being able to launch any games at all.
As the clock approaches 4 p.m. here, I’ve resigned myself to the fact that leveling up in Battlefield V won’t happen today. In the meantime, it seems like a good opportunity to run some errands and finally tackle that Lego Concorde project waiting patiently on my desk.
So, how are you planning to spend your weekend if gaming isn’t an option? Let us know if you’re finding creative ways to pass the time while PSN gets back on its feet!
