1. Force shutdown PS5 if not responding
2. Rebuild PS5 database

Digital devices have innumerable advantages thanks to their adaptability to the news and needs of the moment. But despite this, we always have the possibility of encountering problems that we cannot always control. In the case of the PS5, despite its novelty, you may experience some kind of problem such as freezing or freezing for no apparent reason..

 

One of the options that we will use to repair that our PS5 has been frozen or does not respond in the Reconstruction of the Database. This option does not delete your data from the PS5 , but it will help you to solve problems by improving the optimization and agility of our console, avoiding possible errors such as freezing

2. Rebuild PS5 database


We are going to rebuild the database from Safe Mode. This process will not delete your data from PS5, but it will help to fix and prevent errors on the console.

 

Step 1

The first thing is to have our TV or monitor without a PS5 signal because it is well off.
