Weird save issues on PS5 involving freezing?

[StaceyPowers]

I’ve been having an issue where The Outer Worlds on PS5 sometimes freezes when I try to save. If I wait a really long time, it often un-sticks and then I can save. I thought the issue was specific to that game, but I’ve been having a similar problem with Skyrim the past few days, also on PS5. It is making me wonder if it is a system-wide problem. Anyone know anything about this? Hopefully it is just a coincidence, and it is the games themselves, not the console.

You are not the only one that's voiced out about this with their Playstation 5. Some even pointed out download freezing and a lot more.

Have you try and do a full reset. Keep in mind that you might loose all your saved files

Or even an override, it may work. It's worked for me in Playstation 4 most of the time. If it's possible to do it with her PS5, it's worth a try.

That sounds frustrating! It could be a PS5 issue, especially if multiple games are affected. Have you tried rebuilding the database?

That’s odd, especially that it’s happening with both games. It seems like it could be a PS5 storage issue or a bug in the system. I’d also suggest checking for any firmware updates or even clearing some space on the console, just in case the system is struggling with disk performance. Hopefully, it’s just a weird coincidence.
