Thankfully both the Series X and PlayStation 5 support downloading of all titles, so gamers can still play games in the meantime. Microsoft will likely have to take affected consoles back and replace them.

That's going to be much harder to fix than a software issue. Owners of Microsoft's new Xbox Series X aren't as lucky, with some reporting on Twitter that the disc drive in their console either is making loud, mechanical noises, or isn't accepting discs at all. Fortunately this one is software-based, meaning the company will likely race out a firmware update to resolve it. Sony can only do so much testing before millions of people first get their hands on the new console. So if you don't want to go through the hassle, just make sure you have enough usable space before initiating a download.Ĭould be worse - It's pretty normal to run into bugs like these whenever a product is newly released. That means redownloading all of your existing games. Unfortunately if you do run into this download bug, IGN reports you'll need to conduct a full system reset to fix it. Considering the PS5 comes with under 670GB of usable storage and no external SSD support at launch, you can easily max out your storage in no time.

Thanks to the PlayStation 5's ability to play games at 4K with high-detail graphics, titles can come in very large file sizes - Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has a massive 140GB install file.
