PSN Has Been Down All Night, Players Upset
PSN has been down since Friday evening/night or early morning Saturday, depending on where on the globe you're located. All network services have been down for well over ten hours now, leaving players frustrated.
It initially took Sony quite some time to acknowledge the outage, following which PlayStation server status page was updated to note that all services are down worldwide. This means that folks in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand have been unable to play for much of Saturday, and they're understandably unhappy.
The following PSN services are down at the time of this writinf:
Account management
Gaming and social
PlayStation Video
PlayStation Store
PlayStation Direct
Considering a large number of players have digital libraries that sometimes require license verification, a significant number of folks won't be able to play any games at all.
It's nearly 4 p.m. on my end, and I've accepted that I won't be able to level up in Battlefield V today. I guess I'll go do some groceries and build that Lego Concorde that's been sitting on my table for nearly a month now.
What are our readers planning to do this weekend other than playing video games (if PSN is back up, that is)?

PlayStation State of Play June 2025: Everything Announced
Days before Summer Game Fest, PlayStation held its latest State of Play presentation, giving PS5 owners a glimpse of what they can expect for the rest of the year and into 2026. Aside from a wealth of new looks at games we already knew about, the State of Play had quite a few nice surprises as well. Below, we've compiled a full list of every single trailer and announcement that was at the June 2025 State of Play, in the order they were shown. The very first announcement of State of Play was a bombshell, the comeback of PlayStation's experimental music franchise Lumines. But the big twist is that it's being made by Enhance, the acclaimed studio behind the likes of Rez: Infinite and Tetris Effect. Another major surprise of the State of Play was the long-awaited return of Capcom's Pragmata, a brand-new property that looks as charming as it does bizarre. The sci-fi shooter starts some kind of astronaut accompanied by a small girl, as they blow away a wealth of gruesome-looking aliens. Yeah, it's weird, but compelling. Suda51, the eclectic creator behind No More Heroes and Shadows of the Damned, is back with a fittingly wacky new game, Romeo Is a Dead Man. Gruesome, bloody, action-packed, and kitchy — this already looks like it could have everything you'd ever want from a Suda game. We got out first look at full gameplay for Silent Hill f, and it looks utterly horrifying in every way. The methodical exploration of Silent Hill seems to be alive and well here, along with facing the most hideous creatures you've ever seen. We also now have a release date of September 25. Koji Igarashi's spiritual successor to Castlevania is finally getting a sequel, and it looks even more Castlevania-esque than the first game. Sporting a gorgeous cel-shaded art style, it looks like this sequel will sport multiple playable characters, a wide array of costume options, and plenty of different weapons to equip. Bandai Namco debuted a new trailer for Digimon Story Time Stranger, the gorgeous-looking new RPG for the franchise. Taking place largely in Shibuya, Time Stranger, at least visually, looks like a massive step up from the past Digimon Story games. Also, we now know the game will launch on October 3, 2025. The cult classic strategy game is finally coming back, with Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. Interestingly, there will actually be two versions of the game in this release — a newly remastered version with full voiceovers, and the original game completely unchanged. From the creator of Getting Over It, Baby Steps is sidesplittingly funny simulation games. As you might expect, the entire goal here is to literally just walk, taking one painful step after another. Hirogami, as you might guess from the name, is a new action platformer inspired by the ancient art of Origami. It looks a bit like the PlayStation classic from Media Molecule, Tearaway, but with an action twist. Konami shared a new trailer and a release date of July 31 for Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, the 2D action-packed revival of the classic platforming games. With a demo out now, Cairn is a mountain-climbing simulation game where you play as a young girl named Aava, traveling up Mount Kami. It features realistic climbing mechanics where you have to adjust posture, find the right handholds, and more. The master of remasters at Digital Eclipse are back at it again with a truly epic collection. This massive endeavor features 20 different versions of classic Mortal Kombat games, faithfully preserved and enhanced. Konami debuted a new trailer for the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, this time largely focusing on the iconic boss fights of the game, and more gameplay. We even get a look at the update Ape Escape crossover. Koei Tecmo's take on the Soulslike is coming back in a big way with Nioh 3. This sequel already looks exceptionally action-packed, and introduces two new dynamic fighting styles themes around 'Ninja' and 'Samurai.' Even better, a demo is available to play right now. Yet another legendary franchise making a comeback, although in a little bit of a different way. The Thief games were one of the key franchises that created the Immersive Sim, and now it's heading into a brand new dimension with VR. Tides of Tomorrow is a fascinating-looking story-based multiplayer game, where you have to 'uncover the choices' of your fellow players and deal with their consequences. All while it takes place on a colorful ocean planet. While we didn't get a good look at the new content, PlayStation did announce that more Challenge Levels are on the way for Astro Bot. And yes, that'll include new bots to rescue, including one from Ghost of Yotei. This free-to-play voyage RPG looks like a more arcade-y take on Sea of Thieves, fill with pirates and hijinks on the high sea. But, interestingly, it features turn-based combat and an island building section. A new game from Giant Squid and the creators of Journey and Abzu, Sword of the Sea is a gorgeous exploration game filled with chill vibes. It's launching on August 19, and will be available for free through PlayStation Plus on day one. One of the biggest surprises of the show was our first look at 007 First Light, the brand-new James Bond game from Hitman developer IO Interactive. This origin story follows a new Bond when he's an airman in the British army, chronicling his rise as the legendary 007. Ghost of Yotei got a tiny new trailer that seems to hint at a wolf companion, while announcing a full-blown State of Play dedicated to the game coming in July. Arc System Works, the studio behind beloved fighting games like Guilty Gear and Dragon Ball FighterZ, is bringing its talents to the Marvel Universe — and it already looks incredible. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls brings an entirely new style and aesthetic to these beloved characters, with four-vs-four battles that look as intense as you'd expect. As overwhelming as that flood of announcements might be, don't forget the week is just getting started with even more events over the next few days, including the Summer Game Fest Showcase and Future Games Show. Make sure to check back at CGMagazine for news from all the big events.

Juan Soto's Behavior Toward Starling Marte Catches Attention on Friday
Juan Soto's Behavior Toward Starling Marte Catches Attention on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The vibes are high right now for the New York Mets as they head to Denver for a weekend series against the Colorado Rockies. The Mets sit atop the National League East with a 39-24 record after splitting four games at Dodger Stadium. Advertisement New York is finding ways to win, and a significant reason for that is its deep and talented lineup. Two key players in the heart of that order are Starling Marte and Juan Soto. Soto, in his first full season with the Mets, has struggled at times but continues to produce when it counts. On Friday, the Mets shared a wholesome moment between the two teammates that quickly went viral. In a video posted by the team, Soto surprises Marte with a custom POGA console case emblazoned with the Mets logo. The gift was appreciated and highlighted the camaraderie building within the Mets' clubhouse: "Juan Soto gifted Starling Marte with a custom Mets POGA." Soto told Marte, Advertisement 'I know you started gaming. And we want to give you something so you can take your experience to another level. The Mets and the people from POGA have a surprise for you.' Marte lit up in response, saying, "Oof. That's beautiful. Thank you for that. I was looking for that a couple of days ago. Now I got a surprise from you. That is awesome, man, thank you. Now I can take my PlayStation on the road.' New York Mets right fielder Juan Soto (22)Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Of course, this immediately caught the attention of many online: "Look at my happy team, " this fan posted. A responder here: "I keep forgetting normies' console game. lol." Another happy Mets fan wrote, "The way I love them." Advertisement "All smiles!" This fan wrote. A Mets fan wrote, "Juan Soto, teammate of the year." This fan wants in on the action: "It is my birthday Juan, please gift me something too." This type of off-field chemistry is hard to quantify but easy to appreciate. It's a good sign for a team chasing October baseball. The video ended with another heartwarming twist. Soto and Marte revealed a second POGA gift, this one for Rafael Fernandez, a Mets coaching assistant they refer to as their 'video guy.' According to the official POGA website, 'POGA is the brand when it comes to bringing your console setup to the next level. Our mission is to give everyone the opportunity to be flexible and play wherever you want without losing quality. Get your friends, start socializing and enjoy the best gaming experience whether you are online or offline.' Advertisement Marte has appeared in 42 games this season. The 36-year-old veteran, now in his fourth year with the Mets, is hitting .240 with four home runs. Moments like these off the field show why clubhouse chemistry can be just as important as batting averages and ERA. For now, the Mets are winning games and having fun, and that combination could carry them deep into the postseason.
