The servers are down. Got booted to start on PC and it can't authenticate. I tried on PS5 too, can't get past authentication there either. Apparently, we can't expect them to get it right.

There were some additional speculations that it might be due to another server crash or simply because the game had to be pulled back for maintenance for a while.
