PlayStation Network Outage Reported Worldwide
While PlayStation users are able to play offline games, the outage rendered the online aspects of games such as Fortnite, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and Marvel Rivals inaccessible.
The PlayStation Network has been experiencing a multi-hour outage that began on Friday evening.
According to Sony’s PSN status page, account management, gaming and social, PlayStation Video, PlayStation Store, and the PlayStation Direct website are all dealing with issues.
While PlayStation users are able to play offline games, the outage rendered the online aspects of games such as Fortnite, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and Marvel Rivals inaccessible.
On its support webpage, PlayStation said it was aware of the issue and working to resolve it as soon as possible.
According to DownDetector the problem began just before midnight on Friday night, with more than 71,000 users reporting the outage to the site.
Some gamers on social media say they are still experiencing issues, with PlayStation’s support social media channels flooded with complaints from around the world.
Jeff Thigpen, 48, from Dallas in the United States, said he had been unable to access the PSN for 10 hours.
“At my job I have an hourly rotation and during my break I’ll occasionally get on my PlayStation Portal,” he told the BBC.
“Tonight I tried and was unable to play any of the games I purchased.
“Paying a monthly fee for their service is one thing but not being able to play games that we’ve purchased is something that’s beyond frustrating.”
The outage means that players of Call of Duty are unable to participate in its promotional weekend, which offered double XP in Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
