- PlayStation users are frustrated over missing Call of Duty’s Double XP weekend because of PSN issues.
- The significant file size of Call of Duty games limits the space available for alternative gaming options.
- Players on PC and Xbox continue to enjoy the Double XP event without interruption.
The recent outage of the PlayStation Network (PSN) has left many PlayStation players feeling deprived of their gaming experience, specifically during the much-anticipated Double XP weekend for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone. While gamers typically make reasonable gains in a few matches, Double XP weekends are particularly appealing, drawing in players eager to advance their progress in the game. Unfortunately, PlayStation users find themselves in a frustrating situation.
This Double XP event, running until February 10, offers players a chance to double their player and weapon XP alongside an enhanced Gobblegum earn rate. Additionally, both the Multiplayer and Zombies modes are granting players a limited-time opportunity to try out several maps. With such exciting updates and features available, reliable access to servers is crucial for players; however, a significant segment of the gaming community is left out due to circumstances beyond their control.
Impact of PSN Outage on Call of Duty Players
The trend of live-service games, such as Call of Duty, has transformed the gaming landscape; however, this outage has sparked significant discontent among players, who question the necessity of always being online to enjoy their favorite titles. Many have attempted to switch to single-player modes, only to be met with the notification of being unable to play offline, highlighting a profound struggle within the current game design philosophy. Numerous fans are advocating for the ability to access their single-player campaign offline, regardless of the primary focus of the game being multiplayer.

As these discussions gain traction, players are also questioning the significant file size of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Many gamers would typically have the option to switch to another game if necessary; however, the sheer size of the Call of Duty installation, which ranges between 137 and 300 GB on the PlayStation 5, means there’s limited room for alternative titles. With other prominent live-service games, like Fortnite, often taking up substantial storage as well, PlayStation gamers are finding themselves increasingly constrained during these unexpected outages.
