Summary
Now, reports from players suggest that Sony has startedrolling out the five-day extension to PS Plus accounts. However, the company is rolling out these extensions in batches, which means it could take some time until all users have received theirfive-day PS Plus compensation. Unlike typical account updates, though, Sony is not sending email confirmations or notifications about the extension, so users must check manually to see if their PS Plus subscription renewal date has been prolonged.
PlayStation Users Starting to Receive Five-Day PS Plus Extensions for PSN Outage
PS5 users who want to check if they have received theirPSN outage compensationcan navigate to the console’s Settings menu, then Users and Accounts, Account, Payment and Subscriptions, and finally Subscriptions to verify their updated PS Plus renewal date. On the PlayStation App, the PS Plus extension can be verified by selecting the PlayStation Store icon, tapping the menu button in the top-right corner, and then selecting Subscriptions Management. Many PlayStation users online have confirmed that their PS Plus expiration date has been extended by five days, while some are still waiting for theirs to appear.
Some still argue that five extra days of PS Plus doesn’t quite make up for thefrustration caused by the near-day-long PSN outage, but others feel it is still a welcome gesture from Sony. Regardless of the discourse, email updates could’ve gone a long way towards mitigating the current confusion and keeping users in the loop about whether they’ve received their PS Plus compensation. The seemingly staggered rollout also means that some players have already been granted the PS Plus extension while others are likely left waiting and uncertain. Hopefully, the rollout will culminate in the coming days.
