Tens of thousands of gamers are facing server outages on the PlayStation Network (PSN), which started on Friday night and are still unresolved as of Saturday morning. While Sony has acknowledged the issue, no specific cause or timeline for restoration has been provided. Reports of PSN outages surged around 6:30 p.m. EST on Friday, continuing through the night. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), PlayStation stated it is aware that some users are experiencing difficulties, but didn't share further details. Their server status webpage currently indicates major services, including PlayStation Video, PlayStation Store, and gaming services, are down. These disruptions come at a particularly frustrating time for gamers, as they coincide with the beta release of Monster Hunter Wild and a double XP weekend for Call of Duty Black Ops 6. Notable games such as Fortnite, Call of Duty, Roblox, and Marvel Rivals are also affected, leading to mounting complaints on social media platforms like Reddit and X. Players have reported ongoing access issues, prompting widespread discontent within the gaming community. Despite attempts to reach out to PlayStation for more details, many are left waiting without clear answers regarding the playstation network status and service restoration.
