PlayStation's PSN outage reimbursement includes a free gift – but not everyone will get it PSN is back with a free gift for players – but only some will receive it, leaving many affected gamers without anything to show for their frustrating weekend of downtime.
PlayStation Network (PSN) has a pretty important job: to offer some free games from time to time with its PS Plus service and allow players to use online services for their games.
It's surprising, too, that other gaming companies seem to be offering players a more thoughtful solution, with the EA FC 25 PS Plus compensation giving players a 48-hour extension on a number of objectives and in-game competitions that they may have missed out on in the downtime, as revealed on Twitter.
On Saturday, February 8, PSN went down, and stayed down, for just under 24 hours, meaning players couldn't access the PlayStation Store, or even play games that require an online connection, including the pride of PlayStation’s roster like Black Ops 6, Fortnite, and Marvel Rivals.
With players having Battle Passes and quests to complete, especially as Destiny 2 launches into a new era, this outage has robbed players of some crucial playtime and has failed to deliver fair PSN downtime compensation to many.
