Ubisoft’s Uplay system, which acts as an always-on DRM for many of its PC games, went down overnight – right in prime PC gaming time, thanks to the Steam sales. A representative for the publisher has issued an apology for the inconvenience and said servers are back online – but not before the downtime generated 200 or so angry forum posts on the ever-popular subject of is-DRM-the-very-devil.

Somewhere in the world, somebody had the free time and the inclination to play Quake Live, and they were seriously disappointed. Rejoice, free-to-fraggers: your world is restored.

SCEA‘s announced that the PlayStation Network will be down today from 9am PST to 11am PST, that’s 5pm BST to 7pm BST tonight.

At that time, you wont be able to play games online, wont be able to sign into the PSN and you’ll see a maintenance page for whenever you try to access the PSN at all.

This must be linked to the SCEE conference in Cologne tonight: most likely for new PSN features and/or the EU PSN video store that’s been long overdue. We smell a rat, a big one at that.

We’ll most likely find out tonight why it was down.

Steam will be offline for up to three hours on Thursday night, from 6.00-9.00pm PST.

Affected will be the Steam Community, in-game matchmaking or lobbies, downloading games from Steam content servers and making purchases from the Steam store.

The announcement’s here.

Just a heads up. We’re being moved onto new hardware tomorrow night, so there’s going to be a bit of downtime. VG247′s being prioritized in the shift, so all being well we should be back up and running in less than two hours.

Just so you know when the lights go off.

According to this post on the EU PS boards, PSN is going to be down for maintenance from 4.00pm-6.00pm GMT today.

No reason has been given for the work.

Yep, it’s down. No one can connect to Live at the moment for some unknown reason. We’ll let you know when it’s back up.

According to the Major, Xbox Live will be completely offline for up to 24 hours next Monday, September 29. This looks to be a priming update for New Xbox Experience, which will release “later this Fall,” according to the exec.

Conan’s mighty strength wasn’t enough to heft the prodigious weight of his game’s masses, seemingly. Massively’s reporting that Age of Conan’s servers suffered a proper outage today, causing user trouble on an official thread you can only see if you’ve got a game key.

Fortunately, Funcom’s now confirmed that the servers are back up and ready to go, so get in there. You’ve got ages of lost time to make up for.

Major Nelson informs us on his blog that Xbox Live is due for some maintenance work on Monday.

“On Monday April 21st from 0200-1000 PT Xbox Live will be offline for maintenance. As a result, the ‘My Xbox’ section of Xbox.com will be unavailable, and the Xbox forums will be in read only mode (you won’t be able to post.) The remainder of Xbox.com will be available,” he wrote.

“This is for maintenance, there are no new features on your that will appear on your Xbox 360 console or Xbox.com when the service comes back online. This is server maintenance only.”
