The problem is as follows: When I attempted to access my PS5, I was prompted to log in. After logging in, I was presented with the option to accept the new Terms of Service (TOS). Upon agreeing, I was immediately logged in.

If this method proves unsuccessful, you can try logging in on a desktop device. Timestamp: 2023-08-25 04:49:13.

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

Update 05 [ 10 April, 2024 ]

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.

— madbro42 (@WillTyus5) April 10, 2024

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?!? 🤷‍♂️

I just downloaded the last update @helldivers2 and now the game in @PlayStation 5 has crashed 7 times in a row, I’ve clicked the send report, though I doubt it does something @Pilestedt either in the ship or landing or playing suddenly just burns. #helldivers2 subpar quality
