Message boards are their preferred platform.

Understandably, some people might be having more fun here than on PSN right now.

 

[Leviathicus]

The fact that I pay to use it but Steam is free and never gave me any problems in like 12 years of using it feels insulting.

[Chechack]

Its either theyre hacked or Sony keep the servers online using USAID money before this

 

[A2una1]

Well game downloads seem to work, and single player games work fine...

 

[DaleinCalgary]

yup this is not a quick reboot of the system, they have been hacked

 

[Iced Arcade]

Canada. Still down for me Even the PS App is shot

Couldn't even check my trophies on the dashboard lol. (Disabling the network then allow me to check).

 

[bundylove]

So japan PM gives trump 1 trillion to invest and right away this happens.

The left got so pissed they took psn down

 

[reinking]

I was playing some this morning. PSN being down and no response from Sony so far other than a generic "some people" "might be" experiencing issues is still a bad thing. While I understand they have to sort it out, it is allowing speculation of another hack and fear to start spreading.

 

[SmurfMustard]

No need to worry. They just need time for the XBox rebranding of the psn.
Get ready for your new boot up animation.

Enjoy Forza Horizon 5 coming soon.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Almost had me for a second!

Whatever happened, I'm hoping it's somehow connected to Hermen and that man is finally shown the door.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I’m running around Billy Bees with my toddler wishing I could be attempting to play games.

 

[ManaByte]

Still down in the US.

yup this is not a quick reboot of the system, they have been hacked

 

[Exede]

Ahm... I don't defend this PSN bullshit i just say that theres jailbroken hardware and save wizard around to cheat on PSN

 

[Reaseru]

I would have preferred to have my user data stolen instead...

 

[DarkBatman]

I was able to play a digital and a physical game for a few hours. Now my trophies and games disappeared from the console and the app. Seems to be an up and down.

 

[Katatonic]

Ah, if only..

[dottme]

We found the spy who is not a true gamer

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I guess I'll go fuck myself.

PSN is down, and Arma Reforger appears to be down as well.

 

[Banjo64]

Ya know what - it’s funny, but considering everyone dumps on NSO I can’t recall a single outage like this on Nintendo Switch despite them having a larger user base. Not been using my Steam Deck enough to know if it’s ever happened on Steam.

Why is it that MS and Sony have this regularly happen (it seems to be one of them every year).

 

[Calverz]

Went to buy cod classic on ps3. Kept signing me out. Now I know why. POS service.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Funny story my pro will play Crunchyroll but won’t let me watch because the error message stays up on the screen. Other streaming services are fine.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

The culprit is a mysterious hacker known only as The Professor.

Xbox wasn’t hacked. There was a DDoS in 2014 that hit both of them by Lizard Squad, but Xbox never had anything like the 2011 PS hack or this.

 

[Fake]

 

[NickFire]

Sonys lack of transparency is kind of infuriating. We pay for this service and these games. It’s one thing to have an outage but they lack of communication is completely unacceptable

 

[TehGoomba7s]

Xbox has been down for 12+ hours before. Not sure what you are implying by "this".

 

[N30RYU]

Everyone is a Concord now

 

[ComputerBlue]

 

[Pasta la Vista]

For me it's up again (app, profile, trophies, store).

All of those were working fine the whole time for me, could even download the MH Wilds beta. No access to games that need PSN though.

 

[nial]

It was down 3 weeks or 24 days. If that happened now they would loose a ton of money. Imagine not being able to buy digital games for almost a month.

Patapon 3 being heavily focused on multiplayer and releasing around this exact time will never not fuck up my brain.

Xbox services have been down in the past pretty frequently for a couple of hours at a time. I don’t understand why.

not like this

Being down for a couple hours isn’t remotely the same as a massive hack that takes a service off for days at a time.

 

[Banjo64]

Clearly.

But why doesn’t NSO (Steam as well?) go down for a couple of hours regularly but PSN and Xbox do?

That’s what I don’t understand.

 

[FUBARx89]

Jez. Desperately hoping MS change their mind.

 

[marquimvfs]

Not sure it's the same for everyone everywhere

Also down here in Brazil

 

[Xtib81]

What's worse than the outage is the lack of communication. How about you let people know what's happening Sony?

 

[ManaByte]

Sony owned studios are updating for their games. Sony is still silent.

 

[Putonahappyface]

 

[Krathoon]

Does Astro Bot have any online stuff?

Nothing too significant.

 

[High Prophet of Regret]

Yeah, where's your Messiah now, Geoff Keighley?

brother needs to let it go, they’ve seen the numbers through SoT and Grounded on PS and via Steam, jez hasn’t got a clue.

serious. work your bollocks off all week, get home on a friday night to your £389-£699(!) console where you pay £60-£120 ANNUALLY just to play online peer to peer via your your own internet services to find you can’t chill with your holmies all friday night and saturday and the kicker is sony then treat you like a mug, treating their own consumers with absolute distain and cant even be bothered to provide a single update?

 

[bender]

Did the hackers really just give these guys the install base they wanted?

Topher , when O onQ123 dunks on you, it's time to retire.
