Summary
PlayStation Plus is a membership allowing PlayStation users access to hundreds of games within the regular catalog, the Classics line-up, and Game Trials. Extra and Premium memberships are also on offer, supplying extra features like Ubisoft+ Classics and PS5 Cloud streaming. As a peace token for the massive PSN outage, specific games likeFallout 76offered in-game compensation, alongsideDestiny 2, and while Sony is continuing its freebies, not all members are satisfied.
Posted on Reddit by LesExposNosAmours, the user shared a screenshot on the PlayStation subreddit, highlighting an email sent from Sony regarding compensation. ThePlayStation Network’s server outage occurred back in February 2025and lasted for approximately 24 hours, and recent reports are indicating another wave of freebies being issued to players as reimbursement. Generally, PlayStation Plus members receive five free days of the subscription, but users aren’t fully satisfied with the offer.
PlayStation Plus Members Are Receiving Compensation Emails a Few Days Late
ManyPlayStation Plus users were previously compensated for the outage, but entering into Sony’s next wave, players are reporting a flaw in the system that cuts those free five days short. The Redditor noted the compensation email was received three days after the free five days began, meaning the user only had two free days of PS Plus to use. Several other Redditors shared a similar experience in the comments section, saying they received the same email a few days after the freebie’s start date. The original poster also noted that they didn’t even have a PS Plus membership to begin with, which means the February network outage didn’t affect them in the first place.
