PlayStation 5 Update Is Causing Errors to PS Plus Subscriptions 24 March 202224 March 2022 by Richard Breslin The recent PlayStation 5 update is causing errors for a number of players, such as locking them out of multiplayer features. Yesterday the latest update went live for PlayStation 5. Overall, it was a very good update adding a variety of quality of life improvements and features. The update brought improvements to the PS App as well as Remote Play. It even added the option of voice commands for the PS5. System software features like Open and Closed Parties are coming to PS5 and PS4 globally today, alongside PS App and PS Remote Play updates.Plus, first details on Variable Refresh Rate for PS5, which will release in the months ahead: https://t.co/UIYG3Gqkul pic.twitter.com/MSkw40rm69- PlayStation (@PlayStation) March 23, 2022 However, while the latest update is working well for most, it’s not going well for others. Following the update, players across social media were reporting that they were not able to play multiplayer games.ADVERT ADVERT Judging by the posts on social media, it seems that the latest PS5 update caused an error in which the PlayStation Plus subscription could not be verified. Meaning that players were locked out of various multiplayer modes and features. Elden Ring wasn t to blame Update: the server maintenance for PlayStation/Steam will be prolonged. We apologize for the inconvenience, you will be notified in this thread when the maintenance ends. Thank you for your patience.- ELDEN RING (@ELDENRING) March 23, 2022 Elden Rings’ online server was down for an hour yesterday for maintenance. It was initially believed by some that this maintenance was due to the PS5 update. However, it seems that the update was not the cause of prolonged connection errors, as reported by this post on Reddit. PlayStation 5 owners were tweeting reports of not being able to connect to multiplayer servers, not related to Elden Ring. Countless reports appeared after the PS5 update, suggesting that this is the cause for a lot of gamers. Furthermore, the “Ask PlayStation” Twitter also acknowledged the reports.ADVERT ADVERT Hi there!
