    If you have a PS5 and it freezes, do not unplug it. I've seen various reports online of issues, but it seems as long as you don't do that, I think you'll be fine.

    I heard something about Spider-Man being linked to these issues, which seemed coincidental to me. But my PS5 locked up while shutting down after I played Spider-Man tonight. I just did a long press of the power button, and that seemed to work ok, though it scolded me for not shutting it down properly. I think I had the happen a few times on PS4, but it's not fun to have it happen on your new next gen console. Hopefully they fix the issues pretty quickly.

    That was happening to me on the Xbox One S when it first came out. It would freeze all the time. Hard reboots would not work. I had to do a two button combo thing to trigger a factory reset. Eventually the motherboard went out. I think that's what it was, can't remember right now. Xbox replaced it twice because the first replacement did the same thing right out of the box. Never thought about a certain game possibly causing it.

    Hopefully. I plan to get the Spidey game at some point given that I never got it on PS4.

    I did have a comparatively minor issue where Demon's Souls wouldn't start. I'd hit play and the splash screen would come up and just stay there forever. It didn't lock up the system though. I eventually just restarted the PS5 and then it worked again.


    Oh, unrelated, but heads-up for PS5 users who don't want their save data automatically backed up: the way they tie the option to power/rest settings is downright deceptive (not intentionally, I'm quite certain). I had opted not to let my system stay connected to the internet while in rest, as I only planned to use it to charge controllers. Well, with the power settings like that, the system basically claims that auto-backup is disabled... if you go to auto-backup it says you need to adjust power settings to use it... but actually it's turned on by default anyway in the background. You must adjust the power settings to allow connection during rest, in order to disable auto-upload (which also must be done separately for PS4 and PS5) . Super-dumb. They also removed long-press for powering down for seemingly no reason. D-minus for UI. Hope they improve it. IMO their UI has gotten progressively worse going from PS3 to PS4 to PS5.

    I had that exact issue happen as well. I think I even launched another game (Astro's Playroom I think?), which worked fine, but Demon's Souls would still stay stuck on the splash screen. And like you, I just restarted it and it worked fine. Only happened once, but interesting that this exact thing happened to multiple people (I saw some others report something similar too). Seems to be specific to Demon's Souls too, as I haven't heard similar issues for other games.

    Oh well, more time for BUGSNAX!

    I had it in my cart and was able to purchase and go through all of the shipping and payment screens. Received an email from Walmart that I was scheduled to receive it on December 2nd. A second email came through at the same exact time that said my order was cancelled. FML

    Walmart be trollin'!!!

    Takes around 4-6 hrs to beat it, so yes.

    This has been the worst launch of any console I can remember. I feel genuinely bad for people trying to beat the bots to get either of these consoles.
