How to Fix Corrupted Game Data on PS5 (Safe Mode)
5Fixing corrupted game data on a PS5 can involve several steps, from basic troubleshooting to more in-depth solutions. Here's how you can address this issue:
1. Delete and Reinstall the Game
Navigate to Settings: Go to the gear icon on the top right of your home screen.
Select Storage: Then choose Console Storage.
Go to Games and Apps: Here, find the game with corrupted data.
Delete the Game: Select the game and choose Delete. This action will remove the game's data but not your save files if they are stored separately or in the cloud.
Reinstall the Game: Once deleted, you can reinstall the game either from your library, the PlayStation Store, or by reinserting the game disc if it's a physical copy.
2. Check for Game Updates
Before reinstalling, or even if you've just reinstalled, check if there’s an update available for the game. Sometimes, corrupted data can be fixed through software updates.
Highlight the game on your home screen, press Options, and select Check for Update.
3. Use Safe Mode to Rebuild Database
Enter Safe Mode: Turn off your PS5 completely. Press and hold the power button until you hear a second beep to boot into Safe Mode.
Connect Controller: Connect your controller via USB since Bluetooth doesn't work in Safe Mode.
Rebuild Database: Select Rebuild Database. This process scans and organizes the drive's content, potentially fixing minor issues like corrupted data without deleting your data.
