In today's video I'll be showing you how to use Safe Mode on PS5 to fix a variety of issues that you may run into. Safe Mode is a mode that your PlayStation 5 can be booted into that allows you to diagnose and resolve bugs, errors and issues. I'll be explaining each of the tools in safe mode, what they do, and how they can resolve your issue. If you would like to see an in depth tutorial on each of the tools in safe mode and how they can be used to fix your issue, let me know in the comments down below.

    Having an issue where the screen freezes upon boot up of the home screen.. after 5 seconds the screen freezes and I cannot do anything. I have tried every method online and still does the same thing. Only had the console like 3 months. Now I am seeing this is a common issue... I do love the PS5 but as a person who came from Xbox family for over a decade... this has me with a bit of buyers remorse. 😒
