Update: Capcom has made the decision to take the PS4 beta of Street Fighter 5 offline because of issues preventing gamers from actually playing the game.
A statement issued by Capcom reads: “We apologise for the ongoing issues that users have been experiencing with the SFV beta test. In order to allow us to fix the issues as quickly as possible, we are going to initiate a period of extended maintenance, during which time the beta will be unavailable to all users.”
Capcom adds: “We will let you know the date on which the closed beta test will re-open once all problems have been fixed. We sincerely apologise for having to bring this unfortunate news to you. Thank you for your patience. Please stay tuned for further updates.”
Update: The Street Fighter 5 beta is back online.
“SF V beta servers are now back on, we are aware of the reported server issues and will continue to investigate. Thanks for your patience,” Tweeted Capcom.

A Tweet from the Street Fighter account confirmed the problems.
