Sony’s first batch of PlayStation 5 units could be a storage glitch issue that crashes the console.
GiantBamb Editor Jeff Gerstman reports that his PS5 crashes whenever he puts the system in rest mode while it is running. Marvel’s Spider-Man remastered. On November 11, he tweeted that the issue forced players to “repair your external drive” when restarting the console.
The PS5 seems to be in rest mode while Spider-Man Remastered crashes the entire system, forcing the “Repair Your External Drive” process when you start backing up. At least that’s what happened to me a few times today.

In a follow-up tweet, Gerstman explained that the console “ends up on a black screen” every time its external drive goes into repair order. Upon manually restarting the console, the console prompts it to file an error report before booting normally.
Also, every time I pass the PS5 through that external drive repair sequence, it ends up on a black screen. To force it into rest mode I have to hit the power button on the console itself, then it comes back and tells me to file an error report, then boot normally.

Garstman then received a response from James Stevenson, who serves as the director of community community at Insomniac Games, noting that The development team is considering this issue At their end.
Garstman’s experience with the PS5 confirms the YouTube AGC, which was given a useless presentation before the console had a chance to review it. AGC is currently working with Sony to purchase a replacement unit.
The reported glitch also appears to be moving while playing Surprised Spider-Man Remastered In particular, it is recommended that players exit the game altogether before moving on to another title or putting it into sleep mode.
Gerstman later revealed that the console usually runs for other games. It’s worth noting that both Gerstman and AGC were playing games from outside drives during the crashes.
Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either. So I asked him if he has an external USB drive connected to any of the previous USB ports that should be used for this and instead of connecting it to the front USB port, as this could be a problem. Is.

Sony has not yet commented on the issue or implemented any improvements. It’s also worth noting that console launches typically include some faulty items, and issues may not be indicative of the PS5 as a whole.
The PlayStation 5 is currently available in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico and South Korea. It will be available from November 19 in many parts of the world, including the UK and Europe.
