Sony addressed the recent PSN outage, which disrupted services for nearly a day over the weekend. In a social media update, the company attributed the issue to an "operational glitch" but offered no further details or measures to prevent future disruptions.
As a gesture of goodwill, PlayStation Plus members will automatically receive five additional days added to their subscriptions.
During the outage, many gamers faced challenges—over a third were unable to log in, and others reported frequent server crashes.
Sony’s requirement for a PSN account, even for single-player PC games, has drawn criticism, with this outage reinforcing player concerns about the policy.
This isn’t the first major PSN disruption. In April 2011, a significant data breach caused over 20 days of connectivity issues. While this incident is less severe, PS5 users remain frustrated by Sony’s limited communication.
