Another PS5 bug is here and users are literally encountering the PS5 Rest Mode Crashing Issue which is a bit of a mess. As the PS5 is new in the market, plenty of game bugs or errors are appearing to the users. Meanwhile, the PS5 system has its own set of errors or crashing issues which is unbearable. Now, if you’re also facing the rest mode crashing issue then check out this article to possibly fix the issue.

It seems that with every generation release, gaming consoles do have multiple issues with the game compatibility, previous generation controller compatibility, saved game data transfer issue, game crashes, performance issues, and a bunch of error list as well. Though the Rest Mode is available from PS4, somehow the PS5 users aren’t finding it that useful due to game crashes or even loss of saved game progress.

How to Fix PS5 Rest Mode Crashing Issue

Plenty of PS5 users have reported the same problem that whenever they put their PS5 console into the Rest Mode, it apparently crashes the system or game which basically leads to the database rebuild. Sometimes it can also automatically turn off the console forcefully.

But the most irritating thing is that the Rest Mode crashing issue causes the loss of the saved game data permanently. That means you’ll have to play the game session or checkpoint again to save the data. Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Godfall, Demon’s Souls, and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players are complaining mostly.

You can simply turn off the Rest Mode from your PS5 console until there are any official patch update releases to fix the crashing issue.

  • Go to the Settings menu from the home screen.
  • Under System Settings, choose Power Saving.
  • Choose ‘Set Time Until PS5 Enters Rest Mode’.
  • Select ‘Don’t Put in Rest Mode’.
  • Once done, reboot your console, and check the crashing issue again.

2. Shut Down PS5 Instead Of Rest Mode

It can also possible that if you don’t want to disable the Rest Mode on your console then just try to turn off the console.
