Sony’s PlayStation Network is facing a major outage which has reportedly affected multiple consoles like PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PS Vita, and even older models like the PlayStation 3. Sony officially confirmed the outage in a post on its website while stating that the company was working on resolving the issue as soon as possible.
A post on the official PSN Service Status page noted, “You might have difficulty launching games, apps, or network features. We’re working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.”
Sony has yet to reveal the cause of the problem or how long it will take to get the PlayStation networks back up and running.
Many users are seeing a “PS5 Error Code WS-116522-7” code when trying to launch games, with the Sony website stating that “The system software is the update failed”. PlayStation users are complaining that they are having trouble logging into single and multiplayer games.
Netizens react to PlayStation outage:
PlayStation Network outage has led to mixed reactions from social media users, with some sharing their frustration and others finding the funnier side of things with hilarious memes.
Ome user on X while posting a meme, wrote, “playstation network down, time to get to know my wife of 5 years”
Another user wrote, “Worked a 10 hour shift just for PlayStation Network to be down”
Yet another user wrote, “PlayStation Network being down and not letting you play the games you paid for is a reminder that you don’t “own” anything digitally. Anything that needs to “verify ur loicense” has sold you nothing, profited, and still gets to determine your access to it.”
“PlayStation network is down & I can’t play single player games. They perpetually require a license verification. I purchased access to the licensed IP, I didn’t rent access. A 1 time verification is enough.1,500+ hours into Elden Ring & I still need to be verified? Ridiculous.” wrote another user
