Josh Young (@JoshYou16880655) reported@survivetheark I’ve been locked out of every ASA server for days. Not a ban. Not my internet. I’ve wasted 30+ hours troubleshooting it. Single-player is the only thing that works. Ticket number 2631848 PSN Simian_or_lizard Fix your backend
-
Narro Kapsaiya 🔥 Saiyan PNGtuber (@NarroKapsaiya) reported@PlayStation I mean... I have no problems pairing my controller to the thing I want to play. Seems unnecessary to this.
-
rina |🍎🍏夏以June ᯓ ✈︎ (@strawber_rie) reportedOh I need to fix my linked psn to the game so I can play properly
-
Cody Whitaker (@bwcody12) reported@PlayRematch your game is so broken and buggy I would have thought Bethesda made it. Great job! PSN wouldn’t even let me refund it. So $30 was wasted on one of the worst games I have ever played. Throwing my PS5 in the trash just to put your game where it belongs
-
AlKenmist (@Alkenmistonline) reportedWeird playstation stories 🔌 PSN Outage & Ghost Accounts February’s PSN blackout lasted over 24 hrs—players joked about turning outside. Meanwhile, users reported duplicate PSN IDs and bizarre account bans/restorations with no explanation. A PlayStation “Twilight Zone.”
-
Viacheslav (@Slavandos771) reported@UFLgame Dear Support Team, Good afternoon. I’m reaching out for assistance with linking my PSN account to your service. Every time I try to do so on your website, I receive the following error: “Cannot link Twitch account: cooldown period is active.”
-
Danuki 🦝 (@DanukiTheTanuki) reported@Helldivers_NOW #Helldivers2 Wondering if the game is worth coming back to. Used to play the game on PC before CMs, nerfing and PSN caused issues. Did they fired the activists staff? Did they removed the region lock? Did they stopped nerfing everything? Did they removed PSN requirement?
-
Blackout3130 (@Blackout1hitta) reportedMarathon.. is the game that Sony is sinking its money into and betting big on the success of that game. Sony investors is looking at what MS is doing and asking questions.. Sony is using the success of HD2 to push marathon. Sony is planning on price increases to PSN.. A service that’s doesn’t offer nowhere near what Gamepass does.
-
TerribleAccent (@TerribleAccent) reported@pcgamer It's crazy that in 2025 Sony cannot resolve the PSN accounts regional problems. They are selling PS5s in a lot of countries where they are not making PSN accounts available. These countries are signing in with the fake addresses.
-
Profiteroles (@Profiteroles12) reported@PostUp_SOG @Leonthegr4y @CultureCrave i had my PS5 account banned cause i backcharged the hacked charges (they claimed they were legit charges lol) i made a new PSN account and went right back to playing my physical games no problem never got my digital stuff back tho

-
gordoniankid (@gordoniankid) reported@Ediuhm When the companies don't wanna put them on (they are coming to PSN in Summer and GOG had OG RE1-3 for months). Weirder stuff on PSN: -Ape Escape 1, Ape Escape 2 (European Port) and no Ape Escape 3 -Soul Calibur Broken Destiny (PSP Entry) but not SC1-5. -Tekken 2 but not 1
-
mcquack306 (@mcquack306) reported@Apollokid3000 I thought majority of them do that have a PSN login
-
Jace Haley (@JaceHaley4807) reported@thesinkingcity Fix the game-breaking crashes (Remastered, PS5). Can't progress with the main story as the game crashes every time I enter Expedition HQ. I'm not alone in this. I've cleared my cache, reinstalled the game, everything. The game is not playable and I can't get a refund through PSN
-
Nathan Martin 🇪🇸 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 (@xXEvilnatXx) reportedAn issue has been found using CFW update via internet while log in on PSN, the PS3 in CEX mode crashes or freezes while log in. I will try to bypass/patch it. If I don't get it, I'll be forced to remove the CFW update via Internet. DEX mode seems to work fine to log in on PSN
-
FeldecatGaming (@mrwiggle2x) reported@revolveswayyy @GermanStrands @PlayStation And u haven't bothered to buy a new one all this time? Thats a u problem
-
Lucky Reloaded (@Lucky_Rockz_) reportedSince Sony requires a PSN they could easily block games by blocking the service.
-
Eternity In An Hour (@TheLeftover7) reported@Hantao @playwildforest @Psycheout86 Closed chain game man. If Sony brings a game that is broken to psn, you get a refund If Sky Mavis got us, partnered with, was published on their socials a lot, let in in their own closed chain, tons of ****** "devs" are you telling me they don't have any responsability?
-
Mason Hashemi (@gearsms1) reported@Splitgate hello clueless devs your weekly challenges on psn dont work, bugged they even reset today and wont progress anymore. How to progress battlepass with this issue?
-
LionDLuffy (@LionDLuffy) reported@atj_allthatjaz @killajosh_yt Also fix delay for psn users. Xbox does not have delay issues in myteam park because they dont show every courts game while your on your own court playing
-
Israel (@neswquiik) reported@PlayStation What if they made better quality controls so we wouldn't have to change the joystick due to drift issues?
-
ItsBeyondMe (@ItsBeyondMe) reported@StellarBlade @renatodlpv This is crazy. There's got to be a way to make this work, because players can't be expected to purchase the entire game a second time. There is probably a way to issue codes to PSN users who have the game and the DLC purcased. Please make it work.
-
Deleted_Unity (@UnityXDX) reported@BillyBarragan8 @Apathy_Overdose @helldivers2 That's because at the time, the psn issue wasn't solved Now it (kinda) is (Since the few countries that remain are due to issues with steam or because sony can't actually do anything)
-
KusanagiLars (@KOFLars012) reported@FGAnniversaries Better not be affected with require to login to PSN. It's been a bad move.
-
FooLyConvexShoe (@TanFooLy) reported@nib95_ @AstroCyborg You are literally celebrating this entirely. Why else would you make this post when there’s been a massive issue with a game on PSN? Why haven’t you covered that? Only Xbox something related you cover.
-
BrewPounder (@brewpounder) reported@MorchJosto I bought Tokyo Jungle on the PS3 PSN in 2012 for 15$. I can still download that to my PS3. If I used a subscription service they'd probably kill me and kick my dog. No rational person should use subscription media.
-
Cresscake (@cresscake) reported@Abyss_6912 @Helldivers2HQ Actually it did have a mandatory psn link. It was advertised before the game released, it was on the steam page as a requirement and when it first launched was needed. Issues arose where the game was unplayable when doing that so they lifted it temporarily so people could play.
-
Tincho (@IsTincho) reported@StellarBlade Fix psn trophies in steam
-
Grok (@grok) reported@HelldiversAlert Exact list of remaining locked regions for Helldivers 2 is unclear as of June 2025. Evidence suggests restrictions persist in countries without PSN support, possibly including Afghanistan, Belarus, and others from a May 2024 list of 121. Some regions, like Anguilla and 44 others, had locks lifted by early 2025. Ongoing player reports indicate issues, but no comprehensive update confirms all locked regions. Arrowhead continues advocating for access.
