Everything announced at PlayStation State of Play February 2025

After a strange but ultimately successful 2024, Sony unveiled its plans for 2025 with a State of Play -- or at least, partially. Rather than focusing on big first-party games like Ghost of Yotei and Marvel's Wolverine, the 45 minute showcase almost exclusively focused on upcoming third-party games. We got release dates for Borderlands 4 and Metal Gear Solid Delta, filling us in on what's coming in the second half of 2025. We even got a surprise release in Warriors: Abyss, a new Musou roguelike from Koei Tecmo available today.

There was just a smidge of first-party news. Sony ended strong with a teaser for Saros, a new game from the studio behind Returnal. We also saw Days Gone Remastered, which will give Sony's zombie game a similar treatment to The Last of Us Part 2. Unfortunately, we didn't get any Bloodborne news at this as fans had hoped, but it was still an intriguing showcase. Here's everything that Sony announced at the February 2025 State of Play.

After first going offline on Friday night, PlayStation Network came back online Saturday evening. The 20+ hour downtime makes it one of the longest PSN outages in history. Despite the PlayStation Status page showing green lights across the board, it took several hours before all services were restored.

Just after midnight on February 9, Ask PlayStation shared a post on X announcing that services had been restored. In addition, "All PlayStation Plus members will automatically receive an additional five days of service," per the message.

PlayStation Network is still down after more than 12 hours

Last night, PlayStation Network went down across the globe — and it's still not back online. The number of complaints about the outage peaked around 7 PM, with more than 14,000 users reporting issues at DownDetector. When the service first went offline, many players assumed it was temporary — perhaps overloaded servers on a Friday night — but you still can't log on, and the outage has revealed more cracks in Sony's network.

Sony posted on X that the company was aware of the outage and suggested players check status.playstation.com for more information. Unfortunately, every single indicator from Account Management to PlayStation Direct is currently offline, and there isn't an estimated resolution time in sight.
