In a few hours, a fasting period begins for players on the Playstation 3 and the Playstation 4 in the MMO shooter Destiny, unless they log in by 7 PM. The Playstation Network (PSN) will be taken offline for maintenance.
From 7 PM until 2 AM our time tonight, scheduled maintenance will take down the PSN. All online games on Playstation will be affected – including the current MMO hit Destiny. So, only offline activities can be done on the console.
There’s a small glimmer of hope: According to the official site, it might be “possibly possible” to continue online gaming if players log in through their SEN account before the maintenance starts.
Players on the Playstation 3 or the Playstation 4 may experience a bit of stress tonight. However, players on the Xbox One or the Xbox 360 might have a completely normal evening – and for 3.2 million people worldwide, this normal evening includes Destiny, as we know. So don’t let the E8200013A error ruin your day.
Reminder! RT @AskPlayStation: Routine PSN maintenance Monday 10/13, 10am-5pm Pacific time. Log in prior to retain online play/app access.
