Following the huge PlayStation Network (PSN) outage that ended yesterday, Sony is giving an automatic five extra days of service to PlayStation Plus subscribers, according to a post from the official Ask PlayStation support account on X.
“Network services have fully recovered from an operational issue,” the company wrote in the post. “We apologize for the inconvenience and thank the community for their patience.” Sony didn’t offer further specifics.
The outage lasted about a full day, with the first indications of problems seemingly cropping up around 6PM ET Friday. Sony posted that service had been restored just before 7PM ET Saturday.
During the outage, players had issues with things like logging into accounts, visiting the PlayStation Store, or launching games. For my colleague, Jay Peters, the outage meant he couldn’t log into Fortnite or see his trophies, but his digital copy of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launched like normal.
