Maintenance for the third time in a week on PlayStation EU, this time during an event and just to fix an issue affecting archive leaderboards. Surely a trivial issue like this could have waited until the regular maintenance next week?

— Gigs The Producer (@gigstheproducer) November 29, 2023
Can’t speak for them but this seems more important to address first & releasing the game for playstation. I’ve only experienced 2 crashes in 100+ hours between Xbox & pc. Doesn’t getting a server fix the tethering issue? This game is a grower but they need positive reinforcement.
— Gabriel Belzile (@GabrielBelzile) November 29, 2023
I knew I won’t be the only one affected, i had same issues not too long but it was fix by #Larri_hacks on IG, you should message him,he will help you out

PlayStation Network is experiencing widespread outage issues with games. Many users reporting problems. 🎮 #PlayStationDown
So what’s up with fixing the game for Playstation gamers? Are we ever going to get a patch so we can continue our gameplay or should we just kiss the game goodbye and scrap it. This is BS. You know there’s an issue but not keeping us long time players in the loop or giving info.

Any news is good news!!! Even if it’s a PlayStation server issue, you should at least update the community. You’re better than this?!? 🤷♂️
