Sony announces compensation for PlayStation Plus members following 24-hour PSN outage

Sony has revealed the compensation plan for PlayStation Plus members affected by the 24-hour PlayStation Network (PSN) outage over the weekend.

The outage disrupted online gaming worldwide, including Saturday sessions (or Friday night in some regions), News.Az reports, citing TechRadar.

PlayStation’s North American support account on X explained that the outage was caused by an “operational issue” with network services. Fortunately, the issue has now been resolved, and compensation details have been provided to those impacted by the service interruption.

The post on the social media outlet also apologized and gave us details on the compensation that’s going to be provided: “All PlayStation Plus members will automatically receive an additional 5 days of service.”

The other frustrating element during this PSN outage was the lack of any communication as to what was going on from Sony.   Everything was down – all PlayStation services on the status dashboard, which was nothing but red lights – and yet not a peep was heard from official channels about the cause (or suspected fault), or an estimated delivery time for the fix to the PlayStation Network.
