PlayStation Store should be returning on May 24th

Barring any further issues, reports are arriving that state the Sony PlayStation Store should be returning on May 24th. The source of this development is a memo which has been circulating to Sony's game developers and publishing partners. In an effort to get the Store back on track, Sony told their developers that they will be doing content pushes twice per week until they are caught back up. Content which was set to be released on April 26th will be arriving in the first PlayStation Store update on May 24th.


Barring any additional problems, Sony plans to bring the PlayStation Store back online next Tuesday, May 24, according to a memo sent to Sony’s game developer and publishing partners.


The company has sent a tentative publishing schedule to partners detailing when their games, expansions and other releases will become available to players. In the memo, obtained by Gamasutra, Sony unveils plans to do two content pushes per week for the next two weeks to catch up with the backlog of content.


“We thank you for your patience as we work to resume service of the PlayStation Store,” wrote PSN content manager Jack Osorno to developer partners.


The first push, set to coincide with the PlayStation Store’s reopening, will distribute content that was originally scheduled to publish on April 26. Three days later on the 27th, another round of games will go live, which were originally scheduled for May 3.
The following week, pushes will take place on May 31 and June 3, using content that originally had been planned to be spread over three weeks. At that point, the company will be back on schedule and, presumably, return to a single content push per week.
