The first PlayStation 5 to die was due to its SSD

Although the PlayStation 5 has not yet officially launched, there are already reports of the first death, and everything seems to indicate that the SSD (Samsung) is down.

The owner of this console is (or was) YouTuber and game critic Jeremy Penter, better known as ACG on the video platform. Penter revealed on Twitter that his unit no longer turns on. Apparently the user was affected by their PS5 after experiencing issues with the ‘storage rebuild’, an issue that ‘other’ influencers had previously reported, but which ‘in my case escalated into a lot. network and startup errors and problems. “

The most worrying thing about this is that it wouldn’t be an isolated case if other people had already told you that they had experienced similar mistakes. It remains to be seen what Sony’s response will be. Additionally, Penter said that “Sony and I were working on a solution to the problem when he completely died.”

It’s unclear at this time what exactly caused your PlayStation 5 to fail, but given that even Sony’s attempts to fix it were unsuccessful, we might not know for a while. Likewise, it’s too early to tell if we’re facing a big output error or if it’s just a few units, although of course no console has launched without issues.
