PS4 server update: Sony explains how coronavirus will impact PlayStation Network

“We believe it is important to do our part to address Internet stability concerns as an unprecedented number of people are practising social distancing and are becoming more reliant on Internet access.

“Players may experience somewhat slower or delayed game downloads but will still enjoy robust gameplay.

“We appreciate the support and understanding from our community, and their doing their part, as we take these measures in an effort to preserve access for everyone.”

The news comes after a warning about the effect of online gaming on internet bandwidth went viral.

The alert was posted by actor Dave Vescio who claimed gamers are being urged to play at “reasonable times” to avoid putting a strain on internet networks.

The tweet went viral, with over 44,000 likes and more than 7,000 retweets.
