On February 7, a weekend of gaming was tainted with frustration as PSN suffered a platform-wide outage. During the outage, it was uncertain how long it would last, meanwhile, online services were limited and gamers were prevented from playing games that require an online connection on PlayStation consoles, affecting Fallout 76 fans, as well as countless other gaming communities. However, the outage has since been fixed as of February 8, and Fallout 76 fans in particular can look forward to a much better experience this coming weekend.

During what should have been a prime time to game on the weekend, PlayStation players were unable to access online games because of a sudden and mysterious PSN platform outage over the weekend. The lack of communication throughout the outage made things especially frustrating, so many fans were eager to hear official news about the cause of the outage, and when it would be resolved. Surprisingly, when the news finally did break that the outage was resolved the next evening, PlayStation wasn’t the only source to offer fans compensation.

In a kind gesture, Fallout 76 is offering players in-game compensation for the PSN outage in the form of a Double SCORE Event. During the weekend of February 13-17, players will be able to earn double SCORE for completing their daily Season challenges. In addition to this, a Double XP Event was already scheduled on Fallout 76’s current Community Calendar, and now, both of these events will run simultaneously.

Especially for players who missed out on completing their Seasonal challenges during the PSN outage, this combination of double SCORE and XP weekend in Fallout 76 will help players finish the current Season’s rewards track before the Season 20 update arrives next month in March. Since there’s still no exact release date for this fast-approaching update, players won’t want to wait to claim all the Season 19 rewards if they haven’t already, or they could be missing out on unique rewards. Naturally, this weekend will be the perfect chance for players to finish Season 19 with a bang.

What makes Fallout 76’s Season 19 one that players won’t want to miss is that it finally puts the spotlight on one of the Fallout franchise’s most famous factions, the Enclave. With no promise that the Enclave could ever be the focus of another Season in Fallout 76, Season 19 may be players’ last chance to collect various Enclave-themed memorabilia.

Ultimately, the PSN outage occurring over the weekend was unfortunate timing, to say the least, which is why Fallout 76’s compensation is such a kind gesture. With both a double SCORE and XP weekend happening all at once, Fallout 76 is arguably making up for a big controversy with a weekend-long celebration to bring Season 19 to an end on a more positive note.
