Sony’s PlayStation 5 is now out in the wild, but the thrill of\u00a0opening a new console is often accompanied\u00a0by some technical bumps and hiccups. If the next-gen\u00a0system is misbehaving and turning it on and then off again doesn’t solve the problem, PS5<\/a> owners’ next best bet is a factory reset.<\/p>\n

Even though Sony’s new console released only yesterday<\/a>, many users are reporting bugs with the system’s rest mode, and others have run into problems with the system’s download queue. A factory reset may be able to help with some of these problems and other technical issues players encounter. Before performing the reset though, players should back up all of their most recent saves to an external hard drive or the PS Plus cloud service, as the reset\u00a0will<\/em> wipe all data from the system’s hard drive.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the process is fairly simple and Sony has given the system an intuitive UI<\/a>. The first step to resetting the system is to go to “Settings” from the console’s main menu, and then select the “System” tab. In the next menu, select “System Software.” From there, a “Reset Options” tab should appear. In that tab, players should select “Reset Your Console,” and confirm once again with “Reset.”<\/p>\n
