GTA 6 wont launch - how to fix not working or opening on PS5

In today's video, I want to show you guys how we can fix a problem that your GTA 6 won't launch and is not working or opening here on your PS5. Okay, for the first step, what we have to do is that we check the release date. The release date is um November 19, and this is really really important because you have to look at your local time. When you have at your local time 0:00 and then November 19, then you can start to play. If you are um yeah, on November 18, then you can't play. So, make sure that you check this. Okay. And sometimes

what you also um have is like an external USB hard drive. What we can try to do is that we try to move the GTA 6 game from the external hard drive directly to the PS5's internal ultra-high-speed SSD. So, this is really important. Make sure that you maybe try to do this. And what you also have to look for is that we have enough buffer here from our free space. So, we need like a minimum amount of 50 GB free space here in our console storage. This is really important to start the game and if you have like small updates. So, make sure that you

have this buffer here on your storage. What you also can try to do is that we try to fully restart the PS5. So, click on your um PlayStation button on the controller, go on power here, and then go on turn off PS5. After that, wait until the LED light is uh off, and then unplug the power cable. Wait like um 5 minutes up to 10 minutes, and then plug the power cable in again. This is really really important to do a hard reset. Sometimes this helps to um fix like the starting problems here of GTA 6. Okay, and if this not works, then we can

try to um turn off the PS5, and then we can try to enter the safe mode. And there on in the um safe mode we can do uh some uh troubleshooting. So, what we have to do first is that we go here and turn the PS5 off. Wait again until the LED light is off and then press the manual power button of the PS5 for like 7 seconds. You hear hear a few first beep when you press the button and then press and hold and wait like 7 seconds and then you hear the second beep and then it enters the safe mode. So, I'll do

this now. I turn the PS5 off and then I press here the manual power on button directly on the PS5 console. And after that you have to connect your PS5 controller to the USB cable, click on the PlayStation button and then we get here into the safe mode. And here for the first time what we have to do is that we go and rebuild data base. And here we can first, when we click on this, first we can clear the cache, the system cache. And after that, after we have clicked on this, then we can also go and enter the safe mode again and then

we can rebuild the database. Sometimes this helps like to fix here the problem. Okay, and if this not works, what we can also try to do is that we check for a new update here, which is available on GTA 6. Or what you also can do is that we try to look for a new system update. So, simply go into the settings, then on system, system software, go to the right on system software update and settings and here we can try to look for a new software update. And also, what we also can do is that we look for a new GTA 6 update. And

if all of these tips doesn't work, then try to reinstall the game. So, simply uninstall it and then reinstall it after that. And then your starting problem should be fixed. But what you also can be the case is that some that PlayStation has some server issues. So, what we we can do is that we go on the internet and there we can type in PlayStation server status. And then we see if there are some problems. And then it can be the case that this is the problem why the game can't can't start. So, make sure that you look also for this. Okay. And yeah, if
