At the same time, the bugs affect both the basic version of the PS5 and the PS5 Pro.

Todd Howard's space adventure release on PlayStation 5 was marred by serious technical issues. Users report frequent crashes, freezes, and performance drops — so severe that some are already abandoning the game or demanding refunds.

On Reddit, one player complained that he was experiencing crashes literally every two minutes. According to him, he tried all possible solutions: deleted saves, switched between 30 and 60 fps modes, reinstalled the game — to no avail. Other users confirm similar problems, especially in the later stages of the game, where save files become larger. At the same time, the bugs affect both the basic version of the PS5 and the PS5 Pro.

Some players have already decided to temporarily abandon the game. One user stated that he contacted technical support and sent a request to the developers, but eventually "paused the game" until the fixes. He also noted that this is the only game in his library that regularly freezes "dead".
