GeppyX Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I finally got a PS5. Gamestop had a Pro Member day and I was first in line and got a bundle. I figured that it will take forever to get the stand alone console. Anyways, I was playing Last of Us 2 on it. The game has frozen 3 times now. I don't know if it's the game or the PS5. It keeps on saying something went wrong with the system software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeppyX Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 One thing about this console is it is soooo dam big. I have to think, was that really necessary? I can barely fit it in my media shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareFarm Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Yikes. Try a different game on it like astro playroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyPowers Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 @GeppyX I had no freezes on TLOU 2, but my PS5 freezes so often on the save/load screens of Skyrim and The Outer Worlds. Have you had save/load freeze issues on any games on PS5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajibusu Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 This is something you should worry about especially, if you have played other games on the Playstation 5. How about connecting with their technical team on their website in order to seek a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 You may have had the bad luck to end up with a lemon. That said, I have had what I would call a "half-freeze" happen with mine. A couple times now, in RDR2, there have been a few times that I wouldn't be able to control Arthur in any way, and typically have to reset the game. Like when I was in a gun shop, Arthur opened the book, but the camera stayed behind him instead of going to the book. I wasn't able to do anything at al. The shop owner kept going with the conversations, but I couldn't do a damn thing. Sometimes plugging my controller back into the system. Sometimes not. I think they just have a hell of a lot of bugs, the same as any other system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Do you guys use the rest mode on Ps5? Every time I've used it, it has caused my system to crash/restart. But it is possible the system is bad, I would take it back or send to Sony for repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 That's why I prefer buying from a reliable and reputable store. Because, surely I'll return the PS5 when it becomes a frequent issue for me within short interval of time when I purchased it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I got mine directly from Playstation.com so you may have gotten one that was damaged due to mishandling by wherever you got it. So something internally could be screwed up by either the store you got it from, or if you got it second hand, the person you got it from or store. Big name stores like Walmart don't always take the best care of their deliveries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting it directly from the stores usually comes with a warranty and you could return the PlayStation 5 if you notice any fault while using it.

Shortie Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Have you ever sorted this out, OP? I Believe you can rebuild the system database & software by booting it into safe mode. It sounds like it could be faulty system software or an update didn't install properly. Here's how to get into the safe mode menu: How to start your console in Safe Mode Turn off your console by holding the power button for three seconds. ... Once the console is off, press and hold the power button again. ... Connect the controller with the USB cable and press the PS button on the controller.

Empire Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Ive read places saying some systems are busted but that these were more pre-release consoles than consoles in the wild. Im sure its just a bug that will be ironed out with patches/firmware updates. Hopefully anyway! Doesn't seem to be game related since everyone is having issues across multiple titles, Here's hoping there's a hotfix from Sony soon. Reading about these sweet machines turning to bricks always makes me paranoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be best to contact support and Maybe they might just know what the issue is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
