'Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered' Is Reportedly Bricking PlayStation 5 Consoles

With any new game release or console release, there are bound to be a few hiccups along the way. Sometimes it's glitches, other times it's storage problems breaking an entire console, which seems to be the case for Spider-Man Remastered.

One of the launch games for the new PlayStation 5 is Spider-Man Remastered and a storage problem with the game is bricking new consoles. Thankfully, there is apparently a way to prevent this from happening to your PS5, as reported by Inverse.

First, what issues have been happening for these reports to arise? Well ACG, or Jeremy Penter, a game reviewer on YouTube received a PlayStation 5 unit when a storage rebuild went wrong. He tweeted out that this led to "full errors and network issues/boot. Sony and I were working through troubleshooting when it died completely". This was on November 10 and since then others have reported a similar issue with extensive issues across many PS5s.

Jeff Gerstmann, another PS5 previewer, had a similar issue to Penter without the entire console bricking, but he has said that there is one main circumstance where the PlayStation 5s are breaking. Don't run Spider-Man Remastered and put your PS5 into rest mode.


"Seems like putting a PS5 into rest mode while Spider-Man Remastered is running crashes the whole system, forcing that repaid you external driver" process when you start back up. At least that's how it's been for me the few times I've done that today." This obviously isn't a great fix for an issue that do hundreds of pounds worth of damage to someone's property, but at least it's something to keep in mind when the UK gets its hands on the console.

Just make sure you're careful mixing Spider-Man with the PlayStation 5 - maybe don't even play it has been patched. But certainly, at least make sure you've got another game running before putting the PS5 in rest mode. Perhaps it's safest to just stick to Spider-Man: Miles Morales for now.
