FromSoftware Dark Souls server outages
Overview
On October 30, 2026, FromSoftware temporarily disabled online servers for Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3 across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. The initial shutdown was attributed to an undisclosed “server issue,” which prevented access to multiplayer and social features such as cooperative play and PvP invasions, though single-player modes remained functional.
By November 1, the developer clarified that the outage was reportedly due to a security issue on the game servers. While FromSoftware apologized for the inconvenience, the studio has not provided a specific timetable for restoration, leaving the end time as “To Be Determined.”
