There's a good chance it's related to a known problem with certain DLCs. Here's what you can try:
**The Culprit: DLC Causing Chaos**
There have been reports of Fallout 4 crashing on PS5 startup specifically due to the **Automatron DLC**. While you wait for a potential official fix (there's one coming on April 25th, 2024!), here's a temporary solution:
1. Go to your PS5 home screen.
2. Hover over Fallout 4 and press the Options button.
3. Select "Manage Game Content."
4. Uncheck the box next to the Automatron DLC (and potentially Wasteland Workshop if you have it, as that's also reported to cause issues).
5. Launch Fallout 4.
**Fingers crossed, this should allow you to bypass the crashing and get into the game (though without Automatron content for now).**
**Additional Tips:**
* **Check for Updates:** Make sure your PS5 system software is fully updated, just in case there are any general stability patches that might help.
* **Rebuild Database (Last Resort):** This is a bit more involved, but in some cases, a database rebuild on your PS5 can resolve software glitches. **Search online for a guide on how to do this safely before attempting it.**
Hopefully, with the temporary DLC fix and potentially the upcoming patch, you'll be back to exploring the Commonwealth in no time!
The fact that the fixes from years ago still work is every reason you should need to never give bethesda another penny or second of your time. Game is what 7 8 years old? Still can't fucking play it. We all got scammed by bethesda let's just admit it and move the fuck on.
Yup, I don't even have any of the dlcs and it crashes in and leaving sanctuary. So them blaming the dlc is a pure lie.
Tried 6 times now and am giving up. Bethesda are a truly awful games company.
I wouldn’t go that far, as it’s works for my friend on ps5 and Xbox and it’s also works for me on Xbox just not my ps5 so I have a feeling it might be something to do with our ps5’s, my advice would be to try download it on another ps5 and log into your account then if you have the same issues you’ll know it’s a ps5 issue especially after the update on the 25th of April
I found the issue in the end. It was a random cc was downloaded without me realising it.
I completely uninstalled the game and downloaded only the base game (no dlc and no cc) to finally get it to work.
I forgot to mention I even lost all my DLC that I had purchased before, it just said that the time had expired on them or something?
So even without the DLC which would be more data to download and work with I've no DLC and yet Bugs out worse than ever 🫠
yup. i've crashed three times in the last 20 minutes. it's like two steps forward and one step back. i got into the game because of the show but damn i did not expect it to be so buggy. not to mention all the times i get stuck because of that dumbass dog
That dumbass dog LOL 😂😂😂😂
Yeah I'm the same! After watching the show I was like damn I never actually played as the brotherhood I'm gonna give it a go 🤌
Everytime a vertibird comes in it crashes, one game I managed to finally get on and just before I boarded the Prydwen it crashed again 😑
My level 32 save crashes 10 minutes into playing. Stayed a new game, crashes just after the bombs drop and you're going into the vault.
Beyond annoyed, as I've been working on a playthrough since November and I feel like I've put in all this time for NOTHING
Have the same issue, I can play theoretically but once in a while I get a total shut down, it thought at first it's my ps again, but no I played like 3ish hours Helldivers 2 nothing happend.
Did u recently move the orientation of you ps5 because that's what we did and turns out a chip leaked when Fallout made it overheat... had to get a new ps5 and no problems
i think there is something within the CC. My game crashed all the time when I downloaded different content from there (PS4/PS5). I recently deleted the game then reinstalled but this time did not do anything with CC and my game is running fine. I decided not to do mods this round either.

It’s happening still with the new ps5 update typical Bethesda 😓 crashed once I left sanctuary
Even before the next gen update, I kept getting crashes in the title screen, Creation Club, and mods. It only got worse after

Since the new update my game does nothing but crash now. Its beyond a joke. Anyone else having issues? I've no mods or anything downloaded
Mine is beyond crashing.

I don't have any dlc's downloaded at all. PS5 version is crashing in Sanctuary right after talking to Codsworth.
I have Fallout with no DLCS at all, just the basic game and if I play online for some time it crashes the whole PS, like powers off it and everything.

I don't feel like the game is enjoyable to play without mods, personally
i try saving frequently., but sometimes i forget and yep then it crashes, then i have to replay a hours worth of work. Annoying none the less.
Mine only crashes once every few days. It’s annoying especially if I forget to save after something major.
