Just a day after a major Xbox Live crash, Sony’s PlayStation Network has been in trouble for several hours. The problem on this side is a little different and, based on reports, it can affect only a few games. Sony’s PSN Status page reports that “You may have difficulty launching games, applications or network resources” on platforms such as PS Vita, PS3, PS4 and PS5.
Some people had problems trying to get online to play Call of Duty: Warzone or Minecraft, while other games like Fifteen days seem to be accessible. When I tried to access some games on my PS5, Fall Guys it worked but Call to action and AllStars Destruction unable to connect to matchmaking. The service’s status page says the problem started around 6:33 pm ET, but online players noticed problems several hours earlier and a look at the DownDetector shows reports of problems peaking around 1 pm ET. At least in this case, it seems that most people will not have to go offline to try to play their games, and may just have to change the title until it is resolved.
