Due to an unforeseen bug, some players are experiencing frequent crashes with Hogwarts Legacy on PS5, causing them to be unable to play the game again or have their saves damaged. This is to be somewhat expected given that the game is just starting to develop.
The Hogwarts Legacy Day One patch should address issues related to crash.
Several users on Reddit and Twitter are experiencing various technical difficulties with instances of freezing, stuttering, and crashing for Hogwarts Legacy on PS5. Thankfully, as a whole, these issues seem to be minor, especially when compared to some of the game's issues on PC as reported in several reviews.
One Twitter user has reported "major crash problems" even after deleting the cache and reinstalling, and another has requested a Day One patch sooner rather than later. One Hogwarts Legacy user claims that the person's save file was removed due to corruption.
The finest solution to these crashing issues is to open a save file, either locally or on the cloud, from before the crash.
Avalanche Software has confirmed that the Hogwarts Legacy Day One patch will improve performance and add ray-tracing, as well as the usual bug fixes.
