The PlayStation Network has been grappling with server issues for nearly 20 hours since it went offline Friday night, prompting widespread frustration among gamers. Many players have called out PlayStation for failing to provide timely updates, although some report inconsistent connectivity as of Saturday afternoon around 2:30 p.m. EST. Users on platforms like Reddit are voicing their disappointment over the situation, especially as it coincides with significant gaming events, including the beta release of the highly anticipated Monster Hunter Wild and a double XP weekend for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Reports of outages began to surge on DownDetector around 6:30 p.m. on Friday, with PlayStation's status page currently indicating that all services, including PlayStation Video and the PlayStation Store, are still facing issues. The updates from PlayStation remain sparse, with the last communication acknowledging ongoing problems posted at 8:46 p.m. on Friday. Despite the chaos, some gamers, primarily those active on forums, are reporting that they’ve regained access intermittently. As the community continues to express their dissatisfaction on social media, all eyes are on PlayStation to provide explanations and resolve the outages. This extended downtime also comes as EA servers face similar issues, adding to the frustrations of players eager to log back into multiplayer experiences without disruptions.
