PlayStation Plus users receive compensation after recent outage
PlayStation Plus members will automatically receive an additional five days of service
Sony has begun issuing compensation for last month’s PlayStation Network downtime.
In early February, a PSN outage left PlayStation Plus users unable to play games online for almost 24 hours.
Sony announced at the time that it planned to offer subscribers an additional five days of service.
It said that this compensation would automatically be added to subscribers’ accounts, although it didn’t specify when this would happen.
The compensation is rolling out now, according to Push Square, which recently found that five days had been added to the expiry date of its last PlayStation Plus Premium payment.
Today is the last day that subscribers can claim February’s PlayStation Plus Essential games. They are Payday 3 (PS5), High on Life (PS4, PS5) and Pac-Man World Re-Pac (PS4, PS5).
March’s PlayStation Plus Essential games will be made available on Tuesday. They are Dragon Age: The Veilguard (PS5), Sonic Colors: Ultimate (PS4) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection (PS4, PS5).
Sony recently announced plans to shift away from providing PS4 games as part of its monthly PlayStation Plus offerings.
Starting in January 2026, “PS4 games will no longer be a key benefit” of the service, with the platform holder instead turning its focus to offering PS5 titles.
