las (@marsmitsi) reported@kurai_hoshi @GOREJ1RA psn or xbox needs to be linked to your discord but console players have been having issues with the code i've seen (myself included)
-
tacetmort3m (@tacet_mort3m) reportedSony's been on a roll with their "innovations". First the PSN login requirement for PC, now they finally ditch region locking. Who's running this circus, clowns? Just let us play the games, man 🎪🎮
-
ConsoleHax (@console_hax) reportedthis wont work if your firmware is too low... i was able to get the response to change from []?[] to [][][] (not saying how) on 2.50 but its too low for psn unfortunately. it wont connect at all and throws a connection error. i remember this being the same on ps3. it can get to a point where only the profile can be downloaded.

Alan El Ghoul (@AlanGhoul6995) reported@xboxBG What is the new reality clown? Can you answer me that you can play PlayStation games on steam? That’s nothing new you cannot play it on Xbox. On the device you have to login to steam and buy the game and play through steam.. just go ahead. PSN will get 70% steam 30. Xbox 0%.

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

Grok (@grok) reportedThe most expensive game or content on PSN in the US, as of June 18, 2025, appears to be the Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition at $129.99, based on official pricing and gaming news. This digital edition includes extensive DLCs and cosmetics. No other single digital purchase on PSN was found exceeding this price. An X post suggested $172.99, but this seems to be an error or confusion with a physical Collector's Edition. Prices may vary by region, and new releases could change this, but current evidence points to $129.99 as the highest.

darkdragon (@GlitchDarkdragm) reported@FortniteStatus Where is the fix for psn in party channel
-
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.

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.”

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.
-
Lars Hinsche (@hinsche24834) reported@EASPORTSNHL Can you guys fix the beta? I was able to download it but when I try to play it says this PSN account does not have access
-
Geison (@GeisonPlays) reported@PlayStation I want you fix all this controls drifting. I had 4 controllers on ps4 for 10 years with no issues. I had 3 dual senses drifting in less than 1 and a half year
-
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.

Gasolini 📸 (@Godinho_nim) reported@PlayStation Finally, I don't have to disconnect from PC everytime
-
eepykoala 🇵🇸🇺🇦 (@gotanyfoodhuh) reported@raginghawk92 @Exuldur @NextGenPlayer The recent PSN outage actually prevented people from playing locally downloaded games as the game couldn’t authenticate the license. It isn’t the norm to have all your games downloaded at once as large SSDs are extremely expensive. My comment still stands.

Tincho (@IsTincho) reported@StellarBlade Fix psn trophies in steam

that 🥷🏾 you love to hate (@ymnis_v1) reported@blackheart3488 @Durrtydoesit @dgs_dubbnasty12 God of War - Steam DRM only God of War Ragnarök- Steam DRM + PSN login, no Denuvo Spider‑Man Remastered - Steam/Epic DRM only Horizon Zero Dawn - Steam/Epic DRM (GOG DRM‑free available) The Last of Us Part I - Steam/Epic DRM no Denuvo
-
𓆩 𝐕𝐀𝐋. 𓆪 ceo of grace ashcroft ! (@TheElliottWitt) reported@Tucker1890 @PlayApex it's primarily a console issue. i haven't seen any issues for pc players. it seems to be mostly ps5 players specifically but it's not a psn issue. it's apex my data center won't even load it says "downloading 0%"
-
Slaptrix Game (@Slaptrix_Game) reportedHealing? Where? Arrowhead is still under Sony’s boot, Helldivers 2 had PC players held hostage for a forced PSN login, reversed only after nuclear backlash. That’s not freedom, that’s damage control. Square Enix? They just: Sold off Crystal Dynamics and Eidos like spare parts Fumbled Forspoken and Foamstars Killed Marvel’s Avengers early And doubled down on NFT horseshit before quietly ghosting it If that’s your example of “breaking shackles,” then maybe check whose hands the cuffs are on now. The industry’s not healing, it’s rearranging the chains.
-
Justin 🏴☠️ (@crashingechelon) reported@BTVAbhiJha 2) happened for a short while on PS3. When Sony introduced game rentals from PSN. The issue was cost value since for the rental price you may as well just buy it or wait for a sale. On the other hand going too low could be detrimental.
-
Streaker (@Sonic_Streaker) reported@Chris_TV_Live They don't like it when I get cocky whenever there is an Xbox or PSN outage and they can't play their games. I'm like yeah I've been trying to tell you things like this will happen.
-
Kuro_snow (@Kuro_snow) reporteddear @StellarBlade team, i wanted to ask, if i bought the DLC on US PSN but i own the Japanese Import copy (it was a gift from a friend in japan) Can i play the DLC without issue or do i need to purchase the DLC again but on Japan psn?
-
FireFoxKaz (@KazHeatCulture) reportedSo for years like ever since PSN came out Sony just told gamers in 3rd world countries to sign up using the closest country available, so that Sony wouldn’t have to pay import taxes and force them on customers. No this worked for years until they ported games to pc. When HlD2 came out, it had a sign in option. Pc gamers started complaining about having to make a PlayStation account, and one of their reasonings is that they were in 3rd world countries. So Sony legally had to block all of those countries until they got a framework setup, which is what I thinks happening now.

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.”

Nathan Martin 🇪🇸 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 (@xXEvilnatXx) reportedVSH reversed (once again) and I have a patch, it worked as expected. I need a little time to test that the whole PSN login issue with CFW update via internet is working. I'll send a test to the people who were having issues
-
Jeff Blade (@JeffBlade5) reported@_AlAzif @z_mazinga7238 The real problem with the lua exploit is that it's almost impossible to find a lua disk... only developers can find it because the majority of pirates don't have a psn account.
