Following a complete outage on Saturday, the PlayStation Network is back online. Sony has apologized for the inconvenience, blaming the issues on an “operational issue” and confirmed that all PlayStation Plus subscribers would receive five free days of service.
Unfortunately, the outrage affected several titles with online events or ongoing betas. Destiny 2’s latest dungeon, Sundered Doctrine, saw its World First race hampered due to the outage. The same also applied to Capcom’s latest open beta for Monster Hunter Wilds. At least there’s another weekend to look forward to from February 13th to 16th.
Sony hasn’t revealed the nature of this issue or what caused it but stay tuned for updates. On the bright side, the company has removed mandatory PSN account linking for some of its titles on Steam. Instead, it’s now offering benefits for those who opt for the same, like additional outfits in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and more.
Network services have fully recovered from an operational issue. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank the community for their patience. All PlayStation Plus members will automatically receive an additional 5 days of service.
