- Error Code: WS-116486-6
- Affected Platforms: PS5, PC
- Issue Start Time: 12 PM BST
Downdetector data shows a spike in user reports starting at 12 PM BST. The outage coincides with the timing of the Marvel Tokon open beta release. However, sources state it is unclear if the beta launch is directly causing the server downtime. Neither PlayStation Support nor the Marvel Tokon social channels have officially acknowledged the problem yet.
Reports indicate that connections may be irregular rather than entirely inaccessible. Some users have regained access after multiple reattempts. The situation remains fluid with no official confirmation from Sony regarding the cause or resolution timeline.
