TLOU Part I Remake randomly crashing on PS5
I’ve been trying to get The Last of Us Part 1 on my PS5 to stop crashing, but it keeps happening. The crashes are completely random. Sometimes it crashes while I’m running, sometimes while walking, and sometimes even during cutscenes. There’s no clear pattern to when or why it happens.
I’ve already tried a lot of fixes. I reinstalled the game, rebuilt the PS5 database, cleared the system software cache, deleted my save data, turned off 120Hz, disabled VRR, turned off HDR, and fully rebooted the console. None of these steps fixed the issue.
What’s confusing is how inconsistent it is. Sometimes I can play for an hour with no problems, and other times it crashes after 20 minutes. If it crashes in a certain area, I can usually reload and play through that same section again without it crashing immediately, which makes it even harder to understand what’s causing it.
It also seems to get worse in later parts of the game, especially near the ending, where crashes started happening more frequently. Still, it doesn’t seem tied to a specific location or action.
To rule out hardware issues, I’ve also played other demanding games like Spider-Man 2 for hours without any crashes. Because of that, it seems like the issue is specific to The Last of Us Part 1 rather than my PS5 itself.
