The PlayStation Network faced a severe outage that started at 7 p.m. on Friday and persisted for over 20 hours, with a range of services affected including gaming, account management, and social features. Many users were unable to access games, apps, or network features, with reports indicating that even offline games were impacted. While some users reported regaining access by Saturday afternoon, the company did not provide updates. The incident prompted social media commentary, with brands like Krispy Kreme and GameStop humorously responding to the situation.
By 5 p.m. Eastern on Saturday, there were indications that PlayStation was working for some users in Europe, but the company provided no information to suggest the issue had been resolved.
Some users reported that they were not able to play offline games, a testament to how severe the server problems were, as offline games usually do not face the same issues that online games will sometimes experience.
PlayStation creates software and hardware, including hugely popular gaming consoles. Users play video games and run apps like Netflix, Spotify and YouTube through the PlayStation Network.
On social media, some users reported that they were able to use their PlayStation on Saturday afternoon, but many were still experiencing issues, and PlayStation had not changed the messaging on its website.
