Wed Jan 15 update from jgolenbo (PS2 Community Manager): We're punting on the data migration for PS4 as well as PC this week, so tomorrow's PS4 server downtime will just be to bring you the January 2020 update.

PC servers will be taken offline Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at 5:30 AM PST (1:30 PM GMT) for extended downtime to bring the January update and make hardware upgrades.
