If Fortnite is not working on your PS5—crashing, freezing, stuck on loading, or showing errors like CE-100095-5—here’s how to fix it:

Restart PS5 and Network:
Fully shut down PS5: Home Screen, press PS button, select Power, choose Restart, or hold power button for two beeps, about 7 seconds.
Unplug PS5 and modem/router for 30–60 seconds, then restart both.
Test internet: Settings, Network, Test Internet Connection.

Update Fortnite and PS5:
Check Fortnite updates: Highlight game, press Options, select Check for Update, then install.

Update PS5: Settings, System, System Software, System Software Update and Settings.

Clear PS5 Cache:
Turn off PS5, unplug for 2–5 minutes, then restart to clear cache.
Or use Safe Mode, hold power button until second beep: Select Clear Cache and Rebuild Database.

Reinstall Fortnite:
Delete Fortnite: Highlight game, press Options, select Delete. Back up save data to cloud, requires PlayStation Plus, or USB.
Re-download from PlayStation Store, select PS5 version, and install.
If download stalls, pause/resume via Notifications, Downloads.

Optimize Network:
Use Ethernet for stability. For Wi-Fi, try 2.4GHz band.
Check NAT Type: Settings, Network, View Connection Status. Fix NAT Type 3 with port forwarding or DMZ.

Set DNS: Settings, Network, Set Up Internet Connection, Custom, Manual DNS, use 8.8.8.8 as Primary and 8.8.4.4 as Secondary, then restart.
