If you're one of the many folks who unfortunately had their PlayStation 5 just randomly delete one of your gamesthen I've got some good news for you. Sony has released a new system software update, which aims to tackle just that issue.
Since the PlayStation 5 made its debut a couple of weeks ago, a few folks have reported that the new next-gen console has been seemingly randomly deleting their games. For folks who have the big chonky disc version of the console, that's really too much of an issue as you can just install from the disc again. The biggest concern there is just having to wait for any updates to download. Those with the all-digital version have luckily not been affected by this issue as it seems to just be affecting disc versions of games.

Thankfully the latest system software update from Sony seems to have completely resolved that issue. On top of that the update also improves the systems performance and also addresses an issue that prevented the PS5 wireless controller from being charged while in rest mode. The update is live right now so PS5 owners should be able to get that downloaded and installed onto their consoles from today.
If for some reason you find that the automatic system software update gets stuck, then Sony recommends that you try restarting the update from scratch. If that doesn't work then you can follow this link to download the update file and put it onto a USB drive to install it that way.
Hopefully many folks will now find that their console is no longer just randomly deleting games from the system's hard drive and can once again game with joyful glee.
