Frustrated Players React as PSN Outage Disrupts All-Night Gaming: What You Need to Know

PSN has been down since Friday evening or early Saturday, depending on where you live. Players around the world are feeling the frustration after more than ten hours without any network services.

It took Sony a while to recognize the issue. Finally, the official PlayStation server status page confirmed that all services are down. This outage has left gamers in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand unable to play all day Saturday, and many are understandably disappointed.

The outage is affecting several key PSN services:

• Account management
• Gaming and social features
• PlayStation Video
• PlayStation Store
• PlayStation Direct

For many players, having a digital library means that games often need online license verification. This has left many unable to play even their downloaded games.

As I write this, it’s nearly 4 p.m. on my end, and I’ve accepted that Battlefield V will have to wait. Instead, I might finally tackle that Lego Concorde that’s been collecting dust on my table for a month!

So, what are you all planning to do this weekend if PSN doesn’t come back up? Any fun plans outside of gaming?
