Back Online: PSN to make a full return this week
Sony is set to complete the PSN restoration this week
Sony Corporation and Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) announced today that Sony Network will fully restore all PlayStation Network services in the Americas, Europe/PAL territories and Asia (excluding Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea) by the end of this week. The company will also resume Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity for PlayStation 3, and other PCs.
The company implemented considerable security enhancements to the network infrastructure, as well as conducted testing of the payment process and commerce functions. The first phase of PlayStation Network and Qriocity restoration began on May 15 in the Americas and Europe/PAL territories, followed by Japan and Asian countries and regions on May 28, when the company brought partial services back online. With this partial restoration users were able to access to some of the services such as online game play, account management, friend lists and chat functionality were restored.
The full restoration of PlayStation Network will include Gull functionality on PlayStation Store, in-game commerce, ability to redeem vouchers and codes, and full functionality of media services.
“We have been conducting additional testing and further security verification of our commerce functions in order to bring the PlayStation Network completely back online so that our fans can again enjoy the first class entertainment experience they have come to love,” said Kazuo Hirai, Executive Deputy President, Sony Corporation. “We appreciate the patience and support shown during this time.”
The company will be offering customers a “Welcome Back” package of services and premium content to all registered PlayStation Network and Qriocity account services. The details of this program were detailed in an earlier announcement.
