PS5 users are reporting crash issues when booting from rest mode SonyPS5 users have reported that rest mode can sometimes crash the newly-released Sony console and even force an in-built system repair. [jwplayer vVOrkJaQ] The PS5 launched in Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore, and the United States on November 12. It\u2019s set to release in Europe, the United Kingdom, and other countries on November 19. However, console launches are rarely smooth. Xbox Series X users have experienced everything from crashes and overheating issues to the infamous black screen of death. PS5 users also joined the fray with some consoles reportedly dying. Now, to make matters worse, there have been multiple reports that the console\u2019s rest mode can sometimes cause issues ranging from crashing and freezing to corrupting drives. Jeff Gertsmann, a video-game journalist who co-founded Giant Bomb, reported the issue on Twitter. \u201cSeems like putting a PS5 into rest mode while Spider-Man Remastered is running crashes the whole system, forcing that \u201crepair your external drive\u201d process when you start back up,\u201d he said. \u201cAt least that\u2019s how it\u2019s been for me the few times I\u2019ve done that today.\u201d \u201cAlso every time I\u2019ve had the PS5 go through that external drive repair sequence, it ends up on a black screen,\u201d he added. \u201cI have to hit the power button on the console itself to force it into rest mode, then it comes back up and asks me to file an error report, then boots normally.\u201d Also every time I’ve had the PS5 go through that external drive repair sequence, it ends up on a black screen. I have to hit the power button on the console itself to force it into rest mode, then it comes back up and asks me to file an error report, then boots normally. \u2014 Jeff Gerstmann (@jeffgerstmann) November 11, 2020 Unfortunately, he\u2019s not the only one. A streamer named TeftyTeft who has a little under 150,000 followers on Twitch also reported the issue. However, instead of happening during Spider-Man, it happened while he was playing Godfall. \u201cQuick note on the PS5. Apparently, sleep mode makes the system unreliable and rando crash,\u201d he said. \u201cHad Godfall crash the system 3 times within in the span of an hour. The fix, give a fresh restart from the main menu, and then don\u2019t let it go into sleep mode until it\u2019s patched.\u201d Quick note on the PS5.

However, there have been other tweets and threads popping up in which players experienced the same issues with Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon\u2019s Souls. So, if you don\u2019t want to risk potentially losing progress, it\u2019s probably not a bad idea to avoid using rest mode until a patch is released. In the meantime, you can shut down the PS5 completely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
