PlayStation Network recovers from massive outage that frustrated gamers nationwide
Sony’s PlayStation Network is up and running Sunday after a massive outage left many frustrated users unable to play online games or access its online store.
In a post on X just before 9 p.m. ET Friday, Ask PlayStation posted: “We are aware some users might be currently experiencing issues with PSN.”
According to Sony’s PlayStation Network status page, services including PlayStation Direct, the PlayStation Store, gaming and social, PlayStation Video and account management were experiencing issues.
Users took to social media to vent their frustration, and crack a few jokes.
“Playstation network down, time to get to know my wife of 5 years,” one person wrote on X.
“Playstation I Hope u gonna give us a free game #PlayStationNetworkDown,” another posted.
“PlayStation Network is down and not only can I not play Marvel Rivals… but I can’t play *any* game I bought on the PSN Store and the phone app is completely busted,” another person wrote on X. “This digital only future we’re living in kinda sucks ngl.”
In a post on X Saturday, Krispy Kreme urged frustrated users to stop in for a sweet treat. “Calling all gamers: this play station still works Grab a free Original Glazed Doughnut today from 5-7 PM—because sweet rewards don’t need a server,” the donut shop wrote.
PlayStation Network said at the time it was working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
The issue was finally resolved just after midnight on Sunday morning, according to the company. Playstation Network offered all its users and extra five days free on their online accounts as an apology.
“Network services have fully recovered from an operational issue,” the Sunday statement said. “We apologize for the inconvenience and thank the community for their patience.”
