A widespread outage has struck the PlayStation Network, leaving all online services unavailable to players. The downtime, which has persisted for over six hours, is interrupting online gaming for many, including those eager to participate in the Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls open beta.

The developer of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls has acknowledged the issue, stating that their team is actively investigating the problem and working to identify the cause. However, with the PSN service page showing all services as 'experiencing issues', it seems that the resolution is out of their hands.
