“Dark Cloud 2, which is one of the most beloved role-playing game (RPG) titles for PlayStation 2 (PS2), will now be making its way to PlayStation 4 (PS4)”.

PSN went down for around ten hours on January 4 with most services forced completely offline.

PlayStation has since tweeted that it will be offering its users an extension to their PlayStation Plus, PlayStation Now and video rental (PlayStation Vue) subscriptions.

If you had an active PlayStation Plus subscription on January 4th, 2016, you’re entitled to a free 1-day extension. As such, gamers looking to play these games at the time were out of luck and had to wait for the issue to be resolved. Remember how Sony promised that they would compensate their users for that? Sony mentioned that they have already sent the extension to all those accounts that were valid at the time of the fault. “Please redeem the following voucher code by March 31, 2016, 11:59 PM PST”, Sony wrote on its e-mail, Destructoid cited.

The codes, which PlayStation Plus users can redeem by signing in to their accounts, will be applied to their current membership.

If entitled to an extension, you’ll find a mail in your inbox titled “PlayStation Plus membership extension”. Even so, as most fans would argue, PSN outages have become far too commonplace, with Sony’s server failure at the beginning of the month surely being just the first of more to come this year.
