Biggest outage in 14 years: PlayStation Network is back online after almost 24 hours of downtime

The PlayStation Network service has experienced a large-scale outage that has been going on for almost a day as of the evening of February 8. Users are complaining about problems with access to PlayStation accounts, games, and services.

People are unable to launch games regardless of whether they are using disk or digital versions. This has affected the PS Vita, PS3, PS4, and PS5 platforms.

According to official data, the problem arose with license verification. The PlayStation Network website noted that they are trying to fix the problem as soon as possible. "Thank you for your patience," the message says.

As of the morning of February 9, it is known that PSN is back online. However, there are still some problems. PSN also offered users free PS Plus Extention for 5 days as an apology for the inconvenience.

The last major PlayStation outage occurred in 2011. Back then, PlayStation Network was down for 23 days after a hacker attack that led to the leakage of users' personal data.
