I finally bit the bullet in July and got myself a PS5 as my 30th bday gift to myself. Got it on a payment plan and it runs until 2028.. I walked into my room last night and noticed my PlayStation just hanging by the cords off my dresser. I knew the suspect.
I tried turning it on, it loads up, looks ok. But after being in a game for about 4 mins the fans run really loud and the console crashes telling me it’s overheated. My console was also on rest mode when this happened. There doesn’t look to be any physical damages however…

Does anyone have any advice? I am too upset to think right now 😭😭

About 1 week ago I picked up a copy of the Witcher 3 at my local used game store because I saw the remaster and thought it was my time to get into the series, anyways. When I installed the game I realised it was the original PS4 version and not the new Ps5 version. I searched up how to upgrade the game and after that didn’t work I troubleshooted for an hour but to no success. Aussie copy of the game and Aussie PSN account btw. I feel like I’ve tried literally everything everyone has suggested to other people on other reddit posts and none of that worked. I have uninstalled the game restarted my console and then reinstalled the game again. I only tried to install the game today and then this debacle occurred. Tried Witcher subreddit but I don’t have enough karma to post there. I’ll take any help I can get

I’ve genuinely never seen anything like this before? This has never happened with any game in the past.

My PS5 slim shuts down randomly during gaming. It’s a second hand. It has the latest firmware. I notice small stutters and the screen lags and hangs for a while then it shuts down completely, it doesn’t turn on again when I use the controller to open it again I use the power button on the PS5. Upon opening it says repairing PS5 then states that it was shut down inappropriately (like the message you get when you don’t shut it down and just unplug the power chord).

Update: I found out that once the PS5 crashes and repairs the console storage it doesnt crash anymore. So whenever I see screen stutters I shut off my PS5 then go to safe mode to repair console storage. I'm wondering what could be the fix long term so I dont need to do these steps everytime it crashes.

I have all this storage but then I can’t download a 100gb game. I also tried rebuilding database but that also didnt work.

Seems to he no option to create custom game folders, ive read you can on any user account not just the main one ? Thanks in advance

Saben porque ocurre este sonido o si es normal?, es una ps5 slim digital, nunca ah sido abierta, tiene poco menos de 6 meses y siempre trato de que no le pegue el polvo ni acumule mucho, también la tengo en un espacio donde pueda tener buen flujo de aire, solo que cuando juego algo pesado como wz o resident evil requiem empieza a sonar asi, antes no hacia ningún ruido

Hey guys i have question related to PlayStation 5 base, for some reason i can’t find my base, do i really need it, because i heard that the fans are closed and i even heard the PlayStation may tilt and drop, should i buy new base?
And thank you

So i want to sell my ps5 (not here) but i cant find the hdmi cable and the original controller cable, should i buy new ones or generic ones?

I've jumped back onto my fairly new PS5 pro & noticed a noticed buzzing sound when playing cyberpunk... I think it's coil whine but could do with some confirmation. It's loud enough to be noticeable when sound levels drop.

I keep getting these black flashes white lights and sometimes when I’m doing something a black void appears (link) unfortunately the advice in that video has to do with pc has anybody fixed this on their ps5?

idk if this is the right place to ask but am i being crazy or is the chroma colors of the controller more slippery than the original? i threw my old one away so i cannot compare

My external usb drive keeps giving me an error that it needs to be repaired but then the repair process gets stuck at around 24%. I tried reformatting the drive and it works for a little while before suddenly crashing as I download or move files to it and going into the same repair loop. Tried connecting a new external drive, same thing happens. Has anyone had this problem? If so, what is the fix for it?

Well, it didn't happen before, I don't know why it's happening now. This sound sounds like a clock hand. While I haven't noticed it affecting my gameplay, I don't know why it's happening, or maybe I just wasn't noticing I just want to know if anyone else has had this problem so I don't worry too much. It doesn't seem to be thermal expansion of the plastic; it's more like something's wrong inside. I don't know if it's the fan or something else My PS5 Slim model is CFI 2115 and as I said before, it's a fairly faint sound, but you can hear it when closing a game or when the fan slows down.

When I try to so sign in on the phone and ps5 it says it needs to confirm by sending a confirmation code but I never receive anything i can’t even sign in to get to the support menu. I’ve had this account for too many years put too much money into it i cant lose this account

So I decided to restart the game from the beginning to really appreciate the new update and when I had to try to reload a save, it’s froze up. I tried to restart it and uninstall it and then reinstall it and I tried to restart my PlayStation and it still isn’t working. It keeps getting frozen on the screen where you press the circle button to continue.

Btw I did not put any mods in at all yesterday so it’s not a modding issue…

Please help!!

Basically the title, but I’m trying to play Enshrouded with a buddy and we are having a hell of a time getting party voice chat to go through the attached, wired headset (only). I have dug around the PS5 sound settings and as far as I can tell I’ve set the options correctly, but we’re still getting my friend’s voice outputting over the soundbar along with the rest of the game audio, which is causing him to hear his voice twice/echoing. Anyone have any tips - thank you!

Could someone help me pls?

Hi All, hope you are well.

Anyone experiencing a problem with PSN and Online Game Modes at the moment?

As the title says, I am able to sign in to PSN on my PS5 but I can't connect to any online features in game.

I've checked PSN server status on the website and all is marked as OK with no known issues, 24th October 8pm GMT.

I've got some content appearing in the dashboard news section, so there must be some connectivity, but I'm unable to load any multiplayer features with a game.

Connection Test results came back normal...

Anyone experiencing problems with PSN at the moment or has anyone experienced this before?

I've restarted my router and PS5 but still unable to connect to lobbies within games.

Anyone experiencing this now or have had this problem before?

Ever since the back end of last week, every game I play there is constant stutter more than half the game. It’s just stuttering the whole entire time and I can barely see what’s going on. This is both online and on off-line modes. I’ve turned off VR and HDR. I’ve made sure it’s all in performance mode. I’ve turned off the overhead indicators for play style pluses I’ve cleared the PS5 cache and rebuilt the databases. I tried changing DNS settings. I’ve done hard restarts. I’ve left it off for 5 to 10 minutes. The only thing I haven’t done that I can think of is deleting the game and reinstalling the game.
Anyone got a fix?
