PSN Suffered an Enormous Outage Over Night | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

There’s a good chance if you were trying to play your PS5 last night, you may have been hit by some server issues. There was a widespread global outage during the middle of the night in the UK, which affected the peak evening window in the United States. All of the issues were resolved within a couple of hours or so, but obviously you wouldn’t have been able to play online-only titles, like the newly released Honkai: Star Rail.

Long-time PlayStation fans may recall server hiccups being a common issue in the early years of the PS4’s lifespan, but to Sony’s credit, it’s really steadied its infrastructure – and there’s rarely ever any major issues these days. That’s important progress, because as we alluded to above, more and more titles are relying on online connectivity in order to function these days.

Did the PSN outage interrupt your gaming plans overnight? Let us know in the comments section below.

Ahh, I thought something was up as for some reason I couldn't download a save from playstation cloud

Middle of the night? Online-play down? What’s a Honkai?

All good.

i tend to be asleep in the middle of the night so no problems here

I was out with friends, got a bit pissed and fell asleep doing Genshin dailies when I got home. Did notice I had been logged out when I woke up on the sofa. Not the best start to the day but that has little to do with the outage. Lol

I was playing Burnout 3: Takedown on my PS2 and then this outage happened so I kept playing.

I was sleeping, but if I wasn't I'd be playing on my PC.

It happens I guess. One would assume that routine
