PSN Outage Leaves Gamers Frustrated for Nearly 24 Hours
PlayStation Network (PSN) experienced a significant outage lasting nearly 24 hours, leaving players frustrated and unable to access online services. The disruption began on Friday evening, February 7, 2025, and persisted into Saturday afternoon, affecting popular games such as Fortnite, Call of Duty, Roblox, and Marvel Rivals. While some users reported intermittent access to servers by Saturday afternoon, others continued to face issues, with PlayStation’s status page still indicating widespread problems as of 2:30 p.m. EST.
The outage occurred during a critical weekend for gamers, coinciding with a free beta release of the highly anticipated game Monster Hunter Wilds and a double XP event for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Players expressed frustration over the lack of communication from Sony, which only acknowledged the issue in a brief social media post on Friday night without providing updates or explanations. Many criticized the company for its silence, with some demanding compensation for the lost time.
By Saturday evening, PlayStation announced that the network had “fully recovered” and apologized for the disruption. The company also offered PlayStation Plus members an additional five days of service as compensation. However, the cause of the outage remains undisclosed, leaving players concerned about the reliability of the platform and the lack of transparency from Sony. The incident has reignited debates about the dependency of single-player games on online servers, as many users were unable to access offline content during the outage.
