PlayStation Network will be taken offline for maintenance at 6pm next Monday, November 17 until 12am Tuesday, November 18, Sony has announced.
[UPDATE: The maintenance has been brought forward by one hour, Sony has said, and will now take place between 5pm GMT and 11pm GMT on Monday, November 17.]
PlayStation owners will be unable to log in to Account Management, PS Home or the PlayStation Store during this time. However, online gameplay and third party services will remain available to those who have recently signed into their SEN account and have their authenticated details cached.
That said, Sony warns that there “may be some additional downtime after the maintenance period for testing purposes”. Which begs the question: will the launch of GTA 5 and Far Cry 4 be affected by the downtime?
Both games are due to go on sale at midnight on Tuesday. But if PSN remains offline for longer than expected, will players be able to unlock their digital pre-orders or download GTA 5’s day one patch…?
