Sony explained the reason for the 20-hour outage on PSN

Sony explained the reason for the 20-hour outage in the PlayStation Network (PSN) service as an "operational issue".

Details of the issue:
- PSN functionality has been restored, and PlayStation services are operating stably again.
- PS Plus subscribers will receive a 5-day free subscription.
- Sony did not provide details on the exact causes of the outage or preventive measures.

Monitoring results:
- 50% of players experienced in-game issues.

Gamers are criticizing the requirement for a PSN account even in single-player mode, and this outage has shown that these complaints are valid.
