Your comment said that it didn't work but it worked for me when I logged in on the PS5 you repeating that it didn't work for you don't make it not work for others.

If there's a new service where you pay them ransom money not to take PSN down, it would make sense as a preemptive threat.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Hmmm, what free games to choose from their apology notice I wonder…
Think I’ll choose to have the down time added on to my PS+ subscription I think.

I'm logged in and have been messaging people back and forward but getting connection failed when trying to login to THE FINALS. Looks like some stuff is trying to work but not perfect yet.

It's wierd. I'm online on the PS mobile app and can see that some of my friends are online, but my PS5 can't connect to PSN.
Edit: Seems to be working now
Edit 2: Down again. I hope my Castlevania SotN trophies didn't get fucked. I presume they are registered locally when offline though, shouldn't be any problems?

This stats are from 2021, but show both Steam and Xbox Live had more outages during the last 12 months in the US than PSN did.

It’s a sign that Bloodborne is coming.
For PSN, it’s 64% logging in and 26% for gaming.
I also don’t recall the last time Steam was down for hours.
Check the breakdown for Steam. 39% is from the website. 38% for logging in and and 23% for online gaming. I’ve seen the Steam website down a few times, but the app and servers worked, so it wasn’t really a problem.

That was 23 days and user information was also compromised. Sony would have a tough case recovering from such a massive outage today. We weren't so relient on being online to play games back then. Imagine not getting any profits for almost a month, plus your users will be thinking about mass lawsuits and some governments will want to penalize you for allowing millions of accounts have their data stolen.

Bloodborne 3 incoming?
If they do that, I wonder how they come up with a selection to choose from. It'll need to be PS5 games not on PS+ (or at least some). To offer some variety, that'd basically need to be all their first party published games post-GOW Ragnarok.
Probably quite unlikely. If this extends beyond 48 hours, and considering it's a weekend, maybe they offer a 7 day extension on your existing PS+ teir.

PSN is 3 letters, outage is 6 letters and if you divide by 2 you get 3 again. Sony is 4 letters, substracting 1 leaves you with 3 yet again
Half Life 3 confirmed!

One day, this won’t be a joke and then we’ll remember the infidels and unbelivers who mocked us.

That's a win.
It's an absolute horror. I couldn't play games for straight 6 hours, don't know how I survived

If we survived a month-long downtime back in 2011, I'm sure people will survive this. Lol

Well you don’t have a choice either way. Bet it feels great paying for a service and games that you can’t use, the convenience must feel amazing loool.

It’s surprising how easily companies have conditioned people to have no control over the things they pay for like nice compliant cash cows.

Checked app and it was with 17 friends on now its down again wth.
Stop using the app to check, it's unreliable.
The app has been allowing people to login since the downtime began, but it's also extremely unreliable and will also sometimes not let people in the app.
