  • rust_beta Rust_Console_Update_News (@rust_beta) reported

    @phil34342306 Nothing has been mentioned today so far sorry, they have been waiting on Microsoft and PlayStation to certify the update/patch. I'm guessing codes will be sent out again as soon as they can verify they have fixed the core issues.

  • MayAlvarez_27 Mayra Alvarez (@MayAlvarez_27) reported

    @telltalegames Hello, I have been a week at Playstation Store the first season of TWD but in the E4, there is a part I can not move forward, because I must enter the nursing and the option does not appear to enter. There is some solution to solve that problem, perhaps an update?

  • SteveJerkal I Cant Sleep! (@SteveJerkal) reported

    @DaBadGuy202 @PlayStation My **** had drift after 2 months been Qtip swabbing and using a can of air to clear it out every other week just to temp. Fix the drift

  • roger_SCIENCE Roger Rowley (@roger_SCIENCE) reported

    @Wario64 Wow! Thanks Wario64; off to pick up my Playstation 5 this afternoon! Amazed that I got one. I just kept trying through the errors in the cart and it processed.

  • vUnited_ United (@vUnited_) reported

    @AskPlayStation how do i fix this issue? i look at game base and it says my friend is on but he isn’t. for instance, it says he’s on 2K21 but in reality he is offline. and idk how to fix it

  • 90sNostalgiaGuy Ty 🐲➕♈🇺🇸 (@90sNostalgiaGuy) reported

    @touch_d1c_ @AhmadAl29064671 I mean, I was never much of a Playstation and Xbox fanboy myself but come on, who isn't gonna buy a new Crash or Spyro game early or new Battletoads or Perfect Dark game? If you didn't grow up with those games as a kid I understand but I did so I'm open to either one of them.

  • DustinLangel Dustin Langel (@DustinLangel) reported

    @Jake_Randall_YT First time watching your YouTube live and go the Playstation. Have to say the stream definitely did help. I would have given up thinking it was an error if not for that.

  • Uriel_dArcAngel Uriel_dArc_Angel (@Uriel_dArcAngel) reported

    Hopefully I can avoid the drift issues many people seem to be getting with those controllers and @PlayStation will sort out their hardware to avoid those issues in the future... The controller deserves the love it would take to fix...It really is that good...

  • CashShifty TooShiftyCashMoney (@CashShifty) reported

    @AskPlayStation When will Drift & Trigger issues be addressed I want to Buy A PS5 but fix the issues!!!!!

  • kuduzz4 kuduzz (@kuduzz4) reported

    @SnoopCreature06 @AskPlayStation I had similar issues but after contacting @smooth_hacker447 on IG i was able get mine worked out

  • AlexDav93 Alex Davis (@AlexDav93) reported

    @AskPS_UK Yes, it told me to call UK support line! But it was full. Reference on fix and replace is PS3563014

  • diwidog 🥝🐶 (@diwidog) reported

    @TheTacticalBrit Forget to renew a service, gets suspended, now you can't play any games across PC/Xbox/PlayStation. I really think gamers don't think of how bad this is, which in all won't affect the cheating problem because most cheaters have multiple accounts or use a non-primary account.

  • SteveJerkal I Cant Sleep! (@SteveJerkal) reported

    @Jay__Fiasco @PlayStation My PS5 controller had drift 2 months after release, never had an issue with any of my Xbox controllers

  • DinoSupreme2 DinoSupreme (@DinoSupreme2) reported

    @AskPlayStation Hey, I do have a question @AskPlayStation i just buy a new 3 month subscription gift cards, and turns out the gift card cannot be redeem (WS-45486-7), i already search the error code to google but none of them was solving my problem. can u check my dm pls? thanks x

  • getyourdigion Dude (@getyourdigion) reported

    @mattswider @techradar Look. All of this is PlayStation’s fault. This should not even be an issue. You should sign in with your PSN, order it and they ship it to you to stop all this BS

  • AndrewP81679802 Andrew Prosser (@AndrewP81679802) reported

    @PlayStationUK No instead I’d rather you do something about stock issues !! I’ve been a PlayStation fan since the release of the PS1 and the way you’ve treated your customers is disgusting !! I’ve never tried so hard to give a company £500 of my money

  • pricebbkb KingOfTheBobos (@pricebbkb) reported

    @PlayStation_SA @PlayStation Can someone FIX the South African playstation store. You can't see the download sizes for games, looking for addons for games is a nightmare and if I want information on a game the website is the last place to go. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

  • SlickUnknown Slick Unknown (@SlickUnknown) reported

    @Target This was a horrible @PlayStation 5 drop kept trying and kept getting spam error.

  • DinoSupreme2 DinoSupreme (@DinoSupreme2) reported

    @AskPlayStation My PS4 got the blue light of death how do I fix it

  • wirPL Kuba wirPL Forycki (@wirPL) reported

    @AskPlayStation Hi, 120hz option doesn't work on my Asus VG248QG in spite of turning everything on, performance mode and so on. I have heard My monitor isn't supported. Any fix for that???

  • ps5country PlayStation Country (@ps5country) reported

    @AskPS_UK Thanks for the reply. The problem is that the phone menu didn't have a specific option for hardware repairs. If I'd gotten through to the right person directly, that would have helped. I'd appreciate a direct number to call.

  • tashr16 Natasha (@tashr16) reported

    @AskTarget The store cannot help me with this issue. I have tried to get the PlayStation 5 through your site several times. I tried again today and it shows that they are available at several stores, but when I put it in my cart and hit the check out button, it was no longer available.....

  • Andrea_1892 Andrea (@Andrea_1892) reported

    @rmcf_8 @AskPlayStation I had similar problem but I was able to fix it with the help of #jay.tech792 on Instagram or you can reach him on WhatsApp +14087039131 he's an expert

  • marmeshllow Aivory Sweet Marmeshllow (@marmeshllow) reported

    @AskPlayStation is there any reasonable fix of the problem? The game creashes on the start. Rebuild system database didn't helps. Error Code CE-108255-1

  • Desaulnier27 Jason Desaulnier (@Desaulnier27) reported

    @Target help me out!!!! Every store I click on says 5+ in stock but seconds later error due to inventory. @PlayStation 5 shouldn't still be impossible to get! Leominster, Massachusetts is my location.

  • PSNkingpsyz King Psyz’ Beard (@PSNkingpsyz) reported

    @Target and @PlayStation you’re really screwing up, we tell you scalpers are a problem so you move to online only to make it easier for the scalpers... if you let me put something in my shopping cart you shouldn’t be able to pull it back out, it should be reserved until I pay

  • MrFQ300MR JUST_B (@MrFQ300MR) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @AskPS_UK who do I contact for account issues please ? My email does not exist but there is more to the problem than that. I just want to speak to someone .. cheers

  • rmcf_8 ... (@rmcf_8) reported

    @AskPlayStation been trying to contact you for a while now. I didn’t get any response. I purchased Fifa points about 3-4 days ago and they didn’t arrive. I already talked to EA and they mentioned thats its in your hands “playstation” and not theirs due to service list showing “1”
