PSN Is Down, Causing PS4 Server Issues And Errors For Games During E3
E3 2019 is winding down, with Thursday marking its final day. Even without Sony at the show, there has been a lot of games for PS4 fans to check out. But those at home looking to boot up their PS4 (or other PlayStation Network-reliant device or service) might find themselves running into server issues. Sony has confirmed PSN is down, with many users reporting the error code WS-37403-7.
Sony shared the news in a tweet on its PlayStation Support account, writing, “We’re aware that some users are experiencing issues logging into PSN.” The PSN status page further reaffirms this, listing all areas of PSN as impacted. That includes account management, gaming and social, PlayStation Now, the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Vue, and more. No further tweets have been shared, but the most recent update on the PSN status page came at 2:26 PM PT and reiterates that Sony’s “engineers are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.”

With these widespread issues, you may not be able to sign in on your PS4, which could mean you’re locked out of not just online play, but also some of your games. There’s no word on how long this may last or when servers will come back online.
When things do come back up, Sony’s E3 sale is ongoing and offers some very nice deals on PS4 games and hardware.

E3 2019: GTA 5’s Grand Theft Auto Online Adding A Luxury Casino
Grand Theft Auto Online, the online mode for GTA 5, has turned into a sprawling mix of activities–some more legal than others–and Rockstar has announced one more vice that you can live out in the game soon: casino gambling.
A tweet from Rockstar teased “a luxury casino in the heart of Vinewood.” It also showed some stylized neon lights to evoke the casino look, but was otherwise short on details.

GTA Online updates come frequently and when something is announced it tends to follow in the game shortly after. Rockstar has not announced release plans for its casino or how exactly it will operate.
The online mode is technically a part of Grand Theft Auto 5, the latest in the action crime series from Rockstar. It has grown far beyond its original incarnations, though, and is largely responsible for GTA5 continuing to sell incredibly well even six years after launch.
Recently Rockstar was on a confirmed list of developers for Google Stadia, but it was one of only a handful of studios named without specific games attached. GTA 5 with GTA Online would be one possibility, since it already has a successful PC version up and running.

Fortnite Week 6 Challenges: Search Chests At A Hot Spot, Use Storm Flip, And More
Hot on the heels of Fortnite‘s 9.21 update, a new set of challenges is now available in Epic’s hit battle royale game. As usual, this week’s missions arrive in two categories: a small handful that are available to everyone, and some that are reserved for those who’ve purchased a Season 9 Battle Pass.
As has been the trend this season, most of Week 6’s challenges are self-explanatory and can be completed fairly easily with a little persistence. On the free side, there are two multi-stage challenges. The first begins by asking you to land at Lucky Landing, while the second starts off with searching chests at a Hot Spot. The final free challenge is to deal 500 damage to opponents using SMGs.
Battle Pass owners have access to an additional four challenges to complete. These are likewise fairly straightforward. You’ll need to deal damage to a vehicle driven by an opponent; use the new Storm Flip item in three different matches; eliminate three opponents either in The Block or Fatal Fields; and use two different vehicles in a single match. You can see the full list of this week’s challenges below:
Fortnite Season 9, Week 6 Challenges
Free
- Stage 1 of 5: Land at Lucky Landing — 1 Battle Star
- Deal damage with SMGs to opponents (500) — 5 Battle Stars
- Stage 1 of 3: Search chests at a Hot Spot (3) — 3 Battle Stars
Premium
- Deal damage to a vehicle driven by an opponent (200) — 5 Battle Stars
- Use a Storm Flip in different matches (3) — 5 Battle Stars
- Use different vehicles in a single match (2) — 10 Battle Stars
- Eliminate opponents in The Block or Fatal Fields (3) — 10 Battle Stars
If you own a Season 9 Battle Pass and complete any four of this week’s challenges, you’ll earn 6,000 XP for your troubles. Each challenge will also reward you with Battle Stars, which will help level your Battle Pass up and, in turn, unlock more of this season’s new skins and other cosmetic rewards. If you need help clearing any previous challenges from this season, you can find guides for the trickier ones in our complete Fortnite Season 9 challenges roundup.
The aforementioned 9.21 update arrived on June 12 and added another new weapon to the game: the Proximity Grenade Launcher, which lobs bouncing explosives at opponents. It comes in Epic and Legendary varieties and can be found in chests, supply drops, vending machines, or from Loot Carriers. The update also kicked off a new, PvE limited-time mode called Horde Rush, which comes with its own assortment of challenges to complete. You can find the full patch notes for the update on Epic’s website.

E3 2019: Borderlands 3 Gameplay Video Shows Off Most Versatile Character
While Microsoft unveiled its next-gen console plans in the form of Xbox Scarlett, the company also showed off some new Borderlands 3 gameplay during its E3 2019 press conference. One extensive clip sees a player taking control of Moze the Gunner, the upcoming looter-shooter’s soldier class and most versatile character.
The gameplay looks like standard Borderlands fare: shoot stuff, loot stuff. The player enters an area called Leery Hamlet–a likely reference to William Shakespeare’s tragedies Hamlet and King Lear. What makes the new Vault Hunter unique is the level of customization that comes with her giant mech, the Iron Bear. Our own Jordan Ramee believes Moze “is able to accomplish a wide variety of tasks,” making her what might be the most versatile character Gearbox has ever created. Check out the 10-minute gameplay clip below.
Borderlands 3 launches on September 13 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The upcoming looter-shooter will also be a day-one Google Stadia launch title this November.
