On Friday, February 7, 2025, PlayStation gamers in all places sat down on their sofa, their desks, or wherever else they selected to tuck in for an evening of gaming after an extended work week.
Solely to find that the PlayStation Community was down. Irritated, although probably not overtly involved, most individuals most likely went to do one thing else for half an hour, after which come again to verify if it was again up.
It was at that time that gamers in all places started to understand Sony is perhaps ruining their Friday nights. As a result of it wasn’t again, and at time of writing the next morning, it’s nonetheless not again up. The service has been down for 15 hours now, and essentially the most irritating half is that Sony hasn’t bothered to replace gamers on the scenario for no less than 12 hours now.
The official PlayStation Community Service Standing web site has had a string of 4 crimson dots indicating outages on all PlayStation Community companies for all these hours, and people 4 dots have, realistically, been extra communicative than the AskPlayStation assist account on X and different socials.
“We’re conscious some customers is perhaps at present experiencing points with PSN,” is all of the account has mentioned for the reason that outage began being broadly reported by gamers, earlier than sending them to the official service standing web site above.
A easy scroll by the feedback on that single replace is sufficient to perceive that gamers will not be comfortable concerning the service being down, however they’re extra upset concerning the lack of communication on what’s taking place.
If we had no less than heard from PlayStation concerning the scenario, as to why it’s down, or how lengthy they assume the problem would take to repair. Even when that latter replace would’ve been that they don’t have a solution, gamers would clearly choose to listen to something, as a substitute of a worrying nothing.
Since 2011, PlayStation gamers have been fast to fret about service outages. In the event that they’re not fastened rapidly, then many begin to worry the worst.
Fortunately it’s not all doom and gloom, since there’s nonetheless no less than one individual, X consumer lost32jojo, who claims to be having no points. Good for them.
