Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Gamers hoping to spend an evening in front of their PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4 may be out of luck, as Sony’s gaming network is suffering a massive outage on Monday night.
The official PSN Service Status page confirms problems affecting everything, “Other, PS Vita, PS3, PS4, PS5, Web.” If it’s PlayStation — it’s not working. On my end, attempting to launch a game brought up “PS5 error Code WS-116522-7,” and the associated webpage from Sony tells me that “The system software is the update failed.”
