The screen that greets LittleBigPlanet 3 players who want to play online right now. It’s taking us longer than we hoped but we are making progress and will update everyone as soon as we have more info. The last we heard from the team came on April 16, with a post reading, "We are still working on the LBP server issues. On March 31, the LittleBigPlanet Twitter account followed up to say that the team was working to “get the servers back online ASAP”, with XDev director of product development Pete Smith adding that “It might not be today, but it’s close.” Fan site LBP Union even reported that the game was briefly playable in full that day, albeit with some slowdown – but the servers were down again before too long. On March 12, the Twitter accounts for LittleBigPlanet, LittleBigPlanet 3 developer Sumo Digital, and Sony studio SIE XDev all mentioned that the servers were being taken down because of ‘technical difficulties’. The servers remain inaccessible as I write, and messages around server repairs have been few and far between. All three of the console LittleBigPlanet games are linked, with LittleBigPlanet 3 players theoretically able to download levels made for the first game the unfortunate side-effect of this open approach being that when servers go down for one game, they go down for all three. Nor can they play with friends or access the game’s store.
Their single player campaigns remain playable, and users can create their own levels, but they can no longer upload or download levels -the lifeblood of LittleBigPlanet, particularly this many years after release. The LittleBigPlanet servers went down in early March.
