Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why
NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 2 days agoBeen a minute (this was a nice reminder that I hadn’t even booted up my PS5 in almost a year…), but I want to say it depends on if you have your console set as your primary console or not. Primary doesn’t need to go online to authenticate. Secondary does.
Most people just have a single console so it is auto-primary. But people who bought a ps5 pro or who do super convoluted account sharing shenanigans always have trouble when auth servers are down.
Also, I think the PS+ IGC requires network to make sure you still have PS+?

I only have the one ps5. I did have a ps4 if that matters. Tried to play like 5 games this afternoon. All of them had a lock on the icon and when I tried to play it complained about PSN.

PS4 may still be your primary console.

I’m wondering. I’ll look into that. Thanks for the heads up.

That was the case for me when I got my PS5, I had to manually set the PS5 to being the primary, even though I didn’t even own the PS4 any more.
