Apparently the system software of PlayStation 5 is creating several problems for console owners. Some users have reported a conflict between the external SSDs and the software, causing the console database to be rebuilt. But now there is a new piece to this puzzle and it would have to do with Marvel’s Spider-Man.
Journalist Jeff Gerstmann seems to have found the reason for this problem: apparently putting the PlayStation 5 into sleep mode with Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered running causes the console to crash. “It appears that putting a PS5 into rest mode while Spider-Man Remastered is running freezes the entire system, forcing the ‘external drive repair’ process when starting the backup. At least it was like that for me the few times I did it today“he writes in a tweet.
For now, therefore, the universal advice is not to put the console in rest mode with the game still running. An excellent reminder waiting for a possible patch for all those who still do not have the console available.
Seems like putting a PS5 into rest mode while Spider-Man Remastered is running crashes the whole system, forcing that “repair your external drive” process when you start back up. At least that’s how it’s been for me the few times I’ve done that today.
