"If your PlayStation 5 has started feeling sluggish, freezes mid-game or acts a little weird, clearing the cache might be the quick fix you need. The cache is where your console stores temporary files to keep things running smoothly, but sometimes those files pile up and cause more problems than they solve. Clearing your PS5 cache won't delete your games, saves or settings, but it can clear out the junk data that's slowing things down."
"In order to clear your PS5 cache, you'll need to start your console in Safe Mode. Similar to a PC, entering Safe Mode on a PS5 gives you access to basic functions on your console, including restarting your PS5, changing video output, repairing console storage, updating system software, restoring default settings, clearing the cache and rebuilding the database, resetting the PS5 and resetting the PS5 by reinstalling System Software."
"Hold the PS button on your controller, then select Power > Turn off PS5. Alternatively, you can hold the power button on the PS5 for three seconds. Wait for the console to turn off; the power indicator will blink for a few moments before fully turning off. Press and hold the power button on the console, then release after you hear the second beep (this should take around seven seconds). Connect the controller with a USB cable, then press the PS button on the controller."
The PS5 stores temporary files in a cache that can accumulate and cause sluggish performance, freezes, or erratic behavior. Clearing the cache removes junk temporary data while preserving games, save files, and system settings. Safe Mode provides access to maintenance options such as restarting, changing video output, repairing storage, updating system software, restoring defaults, clearing the cache, rebuilding the database, and reinstalling system software. Safe Mode must be entered using the console power button sequence and a wired controller: power off the PS5, hold the power button until a second beep, then connect a USB controller and press the PS button. Clearing the cache is a simple troubleshooting step.
