If you were planning on getting some gaming in on your PS5 or PS5 Pro this weekend, the gods of glitches had other plans. The PlayStation Network went dark worldwide Friday evening (Feb. 7), and stayed down for nearly 24 hours, making this one of the largest PSN outages ever.
Everything from sign-ins to gaming to the PlayStation Store went offline before, on Saturday evening, the PlayStation status page suddenly shifted to green across the board with no more claims of service issues. PlayStation has apologized, blaming an "operational issue," and said PlayStation Plus subscribers will get an extra five days of service for their troubles, though sadly nonsubscribers are walking away from this mess empty-handed.
