The PlayStation 5 has been a huge success for Sony since its 2020 launch, but a wave of troubling reports is putting the spotlight back on the console’s reliability. Across social media, more and more PS5 owners are sharing stories of their systems suddenly dying without warning, raising concerns about a potential widespread hardware issue.
The complaints typically describe PS5 consoles that abruptly shut down and never turn back on. Some players note that these failures happened while the console was in Rest Mode, while others say their systems bricked during normal gameplay or even while sitting idle. The situation has left users frustrated — especially given how costly and hard-to-find the PS5 has been.
One viral example came from Kinda Funny host Greg Miller, who shared that his PlayStation 5 suddenly stopped working without explanation. His experience echoes similar stories found across Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), where players are trying to find common causes or solutions.
So far, Sony has not officially responded to the growing complaints or confirmed whether there's a larger issue at play. While many still enjoy their PS5 without problems, the silence from Sony isn’t sitting well with affected users who are left with expensive paperweights and out-of-warranty repair costs.
If your PS5 is still working, this may be a good time to back up your data and avoid leaving the console in Rest Mode, just to be safe. Until Sony addresses the issue, players are left in the dark — and hoping their own consoles don’t meet the same fate.
