On February 7-8, 2025, the PlayStation Network faced a significant global disruption, affecting millions of users worldwide. Players were unable to access online gaming, the PlayStation Store, and video streaming services during peak hours. Sony acknowledged the issue but provided no immediate cause or timeline for resolution, sparking comparisons to the infamous 2011 cyberattack.

In April 2011, the PlayStation Network suffered a major breach affecting 77 million accounts, revealing personal information including credit card data. Sony was criticized for delaying the breach disclosure and faced significant costs. The company provided compensation through free games and insurance, though it highlighted broader security weaknesses in the gaming sector.
