Original Story:
While trying to log into Destiny 2 to cover the latest Xur inventory, I was told that a “System Software issue” had occurred. I’ve never seen this error before, and upon restarting the system, I couldn’t connect my console to the internet.
I then checked Twitter and DownDetector.com, and it seems many players worldwide are experiencing the issue.
There’s not yet any official word from Sony. We’ll update this post with any further information or developments.
Is PSN down for you? Let us know.
