PlayStation Network is down again for millions of users, and people can’t play their license-purchased games.

Players around the world are reporting they can’t sign in, play online, access the PlayStation Store, or use other PSN features.

This is the future PlayStation is pushing: once servers are down or have problems, all your games will be useless.

How does Angel Reese miss all these WIDE OPEN layups in one game 😭😭😭

[Jake Maranto @JakeMaranto15]

@SeattleKraken @EASPORTSNHL I’ll wait for a huge sale and buy it on discount. EA has ruined this game and it’s no longer worth a full price yearly purchase.

[Jake Maranto @JakeMaranto15]

@TacTixHD The fact you’re still hyping this.. when it’s clearly a half-assed version of what everyone wanted is ridiculous. EA is a joke as usual.

A NOTE FROM BETHESDA GAME STUDIOS

We love making these worlds as much as you love playing in them. Today, we want to share what's next for Bethesda Game Studios and what you can expect from us in the years ahead.

For forty years, we've built games that have entertained almost half a billion players. More than just games, these are worlds. Worlds for you to explore, shape, and make your own. Worlds we return to together.

That's what's driving us forward. We're investing more deeply in the worlds players love, giving creators a bigger role in shaping their experiences, and bringing our teams closer together so we can get our games into your hands sooner, support them longer, and continue building them alongside you for decades to come.

STARFIELD CONTINUES

With over 17 million players logging almost a billion hours to date, Starfield remains an important part of our future. As we enter Year 3, we'll continue expanding the Settled Systems with new stories, targeted gameplay improvements, and additional updates, while preparing for the launch of new Starborn content next year. More than 40% of players already customize their experience through Creations, and we'll continue investing in creators and giving players new ways to make Starfield their own.

CREATED BY PLAYERS

We've believed from the beginning that our worlds belong not only to the people who make them, but also to the people who play them. That's why we've long provided players with the tools to create their own experiences, dating back to the Morrowind Construction Set. This year marked another major milestone for Creations with its expansion to Fallout 4, joining Skyrim and Starfield. We're proud to say Creators have already earned more than $10 million in royalties from their work.

THE FUTURE OF FALLOUT

Fallout is one of our biggest priorities today. Fallout 5 remains our long-range destination, and we have multiple Fallout projects in active development right now.

Fallout 76 continues to be home to millions of players exploring Appalachia together. With nearly 70 free updates released to date, the journey is far from over. In fact, we have a major Fallout 76 expansion planned for next year: Raven Rock, a prequel story to Fallout 3.
Fallout 4, the most award-winning game in the franchise, just celebrated its 10-year anniversary and recently passed over 35 million copies sold, continuing to attract a new audience every year.

We also know many players want to revisit previous Fallout experiences. While we're not announcing any dates today, we have been working on remasters for both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout Shelter continues to be the most popular way to experience Fallout on the go, with more than 250 million players. There’s more ahead for Fallout Shelter, including new Seasons. An unscripted Fallout Shelter television project is also in the works with our partners at Amazon Studios and Kilter Films.

We'd like to congratulate Kilter Films and Amazon Studios on the 10 Emmy nominations for Fallout Season 2. Production on Season 3 is already underway.

And while we won't host a traditional Fallout Day broadcast this year, we're already planning something special for Fallout's 30th anniversary in 2027, when Fallout Day will be celebrated live in Washington, D.C.

STUDIO COLLABORATION

The wasteland continues to expand as we team up once again with our longtime friends at Obsidian Entertainment. We're happy to confirm they're working with us on a new Fallout project. We'll have more to share in the future.

We're also bringing our teams closer together across Bethesda. ZeniMax Online Studios will partner closely with Bethesda Game Studios on The Elder Scrolls franchise, while continuing to deliver incredible new experiences for The Elder Scrolls Online. Season One: Return of the Thieves Guild recently launched, and the team has more planned for the future. By aligning more directly across the franchise, we can create even better experiences for players.

Bringing our teams closer together is helping us build a stronger foundation for everything we create next.

THE ELDER SCROLLS AND BEYOND

That foundation extends beyond our teams to the technology, tools, and systems that will power the next generation of Bethesda RPGs.

Our teams are now developing The Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5 on Creation Engine 3, a shared technology platform we've been building since Starfield's launch. It allows our teams to support multiple projects simultaneously with new tools, rendering, and systems that define our games.

Fallout 5 is currently in preproduction. The Elder Scrolls VI is our primary development focus today, with the majority of our team currently working on the next chapter of the franchise. With over 65 million copies sold, players are still exploring Skyrim 15 years later, but we know it’s been a very long wait for the sequel.
The next chapter is on the way. We’re where we planned to be, loving how it looks, and playing it every day.

THE ROAD AHEAD

Across Bethesda Game Studios, we're building for the future of Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, and Starfield. We're investing in our technology, bringing teams closer together, supporting our live games, expanding into new forms of entertainment, and developing the next generation of Bethesda RPGs.

We couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead and wanted to share as much as we could today. We can’t thank you enough for all you’ve given to us and these worlds. And we can’t wait to continue them together.

@EASPORTSCollege @ASUFootball how about you introduce those XP sliders back into the game you took out?

An update from the College Football 27 Team. #CFBGoPlay

You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when someone dies.

[Drew (NTE) @NotTheExpertYT]

EA’s response misses the mark once again. It is clear they will not budge from microtransactions in RTG and dynasty. Changing the names of the slider settings won’t change the fact the MTX are completely ridiculous in dynasty.

They are also saying they won’t bring back XP sliders in RTG. Of course because you need to be incentivized to spend money.

Disappointing. They are dying on this hill. #CFBPlayDontPay

[Bordeaux @bordeauxyoutube]

EA took a fun OFFLINE game mode and is focused on “offsetting gameplay advantages.” Wtf are we doing? 😂 @EASPORTSCollege

Just say you want people to spend money on the micro transactions you added because the gaslighting will NOT work #CFBPlayDontPay

[Bordeaux @bordeauxyoutube]

According to @MikeStrawMedia, many devs who knew about the stuff coming to College Football 27 were “livid” about it for months

He says “Even future single-player-only titles will have more monetization options enabled.” This is no longer about just CFB 27

This is about the future and direction of games coming from EA. I am speechless #CFBPlayDontPay

[PAC @CatholicPacman]

Concept #CFBPlayDontPay

[Sim Gaming Network @SimGamingNetwrk]

Stating the obvious here, replacing settings with micro transactions in offline game modes is not okay. However, effectively sneaking them in by not telling anyone is nasty work.

CFB 27 is the best gameplay of all time so hopefully this gets addressed ASAP #CFBPlayDontPay

[Drew (NTE) @NotTheExpertYT]

I don’t care about an EA partnership. Shoving microtransactions in RTG and Dynasty is messed up and where I draw the line. #CFBPlayDontPay
