Starfield’s PS5 Launch Triggers Refund Requests as Players Report Crashes

The absence of a fix or explanation is pushing refund requests.

Overview

  • PS5 and PS5 Pro owners report frequent crashes, hard freezes, and save problems that block progress in Starfield.
  • Digital Foundry reproduced the crashes on both consoles, and Bethesda has not explained the cause.
  • Some buyers say the PlayStation Store has issued refunds, while others report denials or pending cases.
  • A day-one update did not stop the problems for many players, and review code version 1.000.002 ran without crashes for at least one outlet.
  • Evidence comes from Reddit and ResetEra posts with PS5 error-history screenshots, even as many players say the game runs fine.
