Having a weird issue since the last update.

If i wake the console from rest mode, I cannot move on the game menu at all. I can press the PS button, and i can move along the popup menu, but i will only have the choice of games that appears in the games hub.

The only way i've found so far to fix it is to restart the console. It's happening with both my controllers, but I don't think it's the controller at fault, as it does work in sub menus, just not on the main PS menu.

Anyone have similar?

Recently about 9 times out of ten, when I power up from rest mode there's an error message on the game, (Cold war, Black ops) which I dismiss and then have no further issues. Not sure if its the game, PS5 or what.

If you're playing online when you go to rest it will give an error when you start up again saying that it disconnected.

Hey All,

I have a US account in place but I want to add US PS credit to the account to pick up REVIII on my PS5 - Where's the best spot to but credit so I can add it to my account?

It is refusing my Irish credit card.

Thanks!

Disregard my above post

I just bought REVIII on US Store on my US account, Great savings!

I seem to be able to play it on my main PS5 account - EU based. I thought I would be restricted to only play the game on my US account!

I wonder why this is? Does this apply to all games bought on my US account?

Thanks!

It's called game sharing, you can share games on your console.

Yes, but I vaguely remember there being an issue with a PS4 game, I may be mis-remembering though.

The PS4 issue was where I was coming from - I think on my old Pro I needed to be logged into the US account to play.

Cheers.

You needed the console to be set a primary for other accounts to work.

DC universe required you using same region account.

I'm half tempted to get returnal from US but games associated with other accounts seems like it'll frustrate me.

I'd say this is the type of game that will reduce in price fairly quickly and could be down to €40 in a few months. I'm going to hold off until it's around €30 myself.

Yep same tbh. It's a game I'd happily pay 50 for. But current price is excessive.

Its available for 35 sterling from tesco uk which is a bit annoying. Offer is on HotUKDeals at the mo. Nothing on tesco.ie tho

So since I just got my new TV, what's a good game to show what the PS5 can do? Assuming I just have the games from Plus. Currently replaying Astro Bot.

Potential-Monke · 08-05-2021 10:22PM

I was going to say Astrobot, but after that I'd give God of War another go, it's buttery smooth now. Ratchet and Clank got the 4K/60fps update so might be worth a sconce too. But I can't think of anything specifically PS5 that you wouldn't have to buy.

I've also had 2 instances of the PS5 XMB issue, both seemed to happen after I powered on after downloading a game via the App while it was in rest mode, so not sure if that's related. Also, Sims 4 does not work on PS5, keeps crashing before getting to load a game.

CastorTroy · 08-05-2021 10:32PM

Was actually playing Astrobot while Ratchet & Clank downloaded so was gonna try it.
Actually started it up, but just stayed black before the title screen. Had to close it and reopen to get to the title screen.
Haven't started playing it yet though as started watching a film.
So may get a wee bit played later

Think my PS5 is bolloxed. Has anyone here seen or heard of something like this happening? I turned it on today for the first time in a few weeks. I left it to install a few updates before I intended to start playing Village, but when I returned to the console it was dead. No activity lights, fan noise etc. Nothing.

Tried troubleshooting a few things earlier with no joy, but I'll try any I missed out of that list now, thanks man.

If you haven't played God of War yet then 100% that. That on the PS5 is by far the most impressive looking game I've ever seen. I expected great things from Miles Morales and wasn't blown away, but by GOW I really was

Ghost Of Tushima is absolutely BRILLIANT. And even after the main story which is huge with side missions the co-op is free and great fun.

Same happened mine a while back, couldn't get a peep out of it, just disconnected all power and hdmi cables, left for 5 minutes, reconnected all and its been fine since.

Yeah, I was hoping mine would be the same, but no luck. Thanks though.

You've checked that the fuse on the plug hasn't gone right?

could move. Any recommendations? I also want to upgrade my internal SSD when they finally enable that feature but it wont be cheap.

Edit - I went for Samsung t5
