PSN Outage Compensation Apparently Rolling Out Now

Players have reportedly begun receiving compensation for the massive PSN outage in February 2025 that lasted for almost a day. Sony had previously promised that all those who were active PS Plus members during the downtime will receive a five-day extension automatically. It appears that the company is staggering its rollout.

How to check if you’ve received compensation for February’s PSN outage

While a large number of users still haven’t received the PS Plus extension, we noticed numerous reports over the weekend of players claiming that they received the compensation. Since it appears that Sony is quietly applying the extension in batches without an email or any other notification, players are checking their subscription renewal date to see if they received the bonus five days or not.

If you’re on the PS5, go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Account > Payment and Subscriptions > Subscriptions. From there, check your next payment date. On the PS App, go to the PS Store icon and click on the menu button on the top right. Then select Subscriptions Management.

“I got mine. I knew when my sub was due to expire and it’s now 5 days later,” one Redditor reported. ” I got mine relatively early and one of my friends got theirs, like, 3 days ago,” reported another. “I just checked and got my five extra days, didn’t get an email or anything,” a third reported. I saw numerous other comments confirming the same.

I’m one of those who has yet to receive the compensation, but it looks like Sony’s getting to it, so be patient.
