Updating The PS4

Through my tests, this is the most helpful fix for me. Also, a user claimed on Reddit that updating the PS4 fixed this issue. So, try to update your PS4 system software.

Offline Update

It is plausible that you might need internet access, or your internet could be faster. In that case, I recommend updating your PS4’s system software using a USB drive. To do so:

  1. Download the update file: Go to the PlayStation website and download the latest update file for your PS4. Make sure to download the correct file for your specific model PS4.
  2. Format a USB drive: Format a USB drive as FAT32 or exFAT and create a folder named PS4. Inside that folder, create another folder named UPDATE.

  4. Turn off your PS4: Hold the power button until the system beeps twice, indicating that the PS4 has been turned off.
  5. Connect the USB drive to your PS4: Insert the USB drive into one of the PS4’s USB ports.
  6. Start your PS4 in Safe Mode: Press and hold the power button; you’ll hear a beep, and the PS4 will enter Safe Mode.
  7. Select Update System Software > Update using a USB Storage Device.
  8. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
  9. Restart the PS4: After the installation, your PS4 will prompt you to restart the console.
  10. After restarting, your PS4’s system software should be updated to the latest version.

Please note that updating your PS4 using a USB drive will erase all data from the hard drive, including games, DLCs, and saved data, so it’s essential to back up your important data before proceeding.

Factory Reset PS4

According to my experience, restoring your PS4 to its default settings can fix this issue. But, this method will erase all data from the hard drive, including games, DLCs, and saved data, so it’s essential to back up your important data before proceeding. You can back up your data to an external drive or the cloud using the PS+ subscription.

Final Verdict

The message on the screen doesn’t show the cause of the error, but many users reported that updating the PS4 fixed the error. As I found, the error is typically related to the system software. Try all the above methods, including updating the PS4, because a factory reset resolved the error for me. Other methods have also been tried to overcome this issue.
