The PS5 is finally out in the wild after launching in November. And it’s proven to be an astonishing console with a killer game lineup of games, from Astro's Playroom to Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. But for some unlucky buyers, the PS5 has also been a source of frustration — and not just because it’s hard to find the PS5 in stock.

Rather, some users have run into problems with their PS5s following the system’s debut. Reports of PS5 errors include crashes, software issues, a frustrating whine, and even systems being bricked. While it’s difficult to gauge just how widespread the problems are, anyone who spends $499 on a new console expects it to arrive free of issues.

So that you can get a sense of what problems some PS5 owners are running into, we’ve collected the various PS5 errors, bugs, and issues that you should be aware of, along with whether Sony has issued a fix. (Sony has patched a handful of problems with some update software, but many of them still remain.)
