Gamers hit by global PlayStation outage

PARIS (AFP) – The online services of Sony’s PlayStation consoles went down for several hours yesterday, the Japanese firm said, affecting gamers around the world.

The conglomerate apologised in a social media post without providing a reason for the outage. Service returned to normal around midday yesterday European time.

PlayStation’s online services allow owners of consoles such as the PS4 and PS5 to play games such as Fortnite or Call of Duty.

Without online services, players cannot play with other users remotely nor can they buy or download titles from the PlayStation Store.

“At this time, the PlayStation Network (including PlayStation Store) may not be available,” said PlayStation’s technical support on the social media site X.
