Troubleshooting the “PlayStation Not Loading” Error
Troubleshooting Methods if Your PlayStation Isn’t Loading
Here are the 3 troubleshooting methods that can resolve the “PlayStation not loading” error:
Method 1: Install the Latest System Software
This tutorial is for the PS5 console. For further reference, we recommend you visit the official PlayStation support page (https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support). Here’s a brief tutorial:
- Head to Settings.
- Navigate to System.
- Select System Software.
- Choose System Software Update and Settings.
- Flip the switches for Install Update Files Automatically and Download Update Files Automatically.
Method 2: Power Cycle the PlayStation
If the abovementioned method doesn’t work, try power cycling the PS. Here’s how you can do that:
- Reconnect to the power supply.
- Press and hold the power button. Wait until the blinking LED light goes off.
- Disconnect the power and wait for 15-20 minutes.
- Turn on the power supply and switch on the system.
Method 3: Insert the Game Disc
Normally, if your PlayStation automatically pulls the disc in, that shouldn’t be a problem. However, if the error persists, inserting another game disc is best. Your PS usually fails to load when the game disc is faulty or dirty.
