The PlayStation 5 (PS5) is the ninth generation home video game console by Sony Interactive Entertainment. A week after its release in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, North America, and South Korea on November 12, 2020, the PlayStation 5 was made official as the PlayStation 4's successor.

The Xbox Series X and Series S consoles from Microsoft, which were released in the same month as the PlayStation 5, are also part of the ninth generation of video game consoles. PlayStation 5 is arguably one of the best consoles there are in the market. A Levvel report tells us that it is projected that about 67.3 million PS5 units will have been sold by the end of 2024.

Owning a PlayStation 5 opens gamers to a stretch of options for gaming. Once in a while, PS5 players would try on the latest games and explore the different functions of the console. Sometimes error codes would go in the way of testing these features, which could really give us a hard time.

This tutorial is intended to assist you if you are wondering how to fix these error codes and play your PS5 games without interruption.

Most Common PlayStation 5 Error Codes

CE-10005-6

If this error code goes in the way of your PS5 gaming experience, PlayStation 5 support tells us that it is because of a problem with reading the disc.

To address this issue, users need to turn off the console first by unplugging it from the power source and putting it back again after a few seconds. Subsequently, users need to restart the PS5 console and then try to insert a different compatible disc. If the disk inserted runs properly, this means that the problem is with the previous disk and that it is recommended that the said disc be cleaned first with a clean cloth before reinserting it into the console.

Pulse informs us that the most common cause of the error codes WS-116420-4, NW-102650-4, NW-102417-5, CE-113212-0, WV-109153-9, or WV-109146-1 is a console connection issue, and the following solutions may help:

The first thing users must do is to check if any maintenance schedule is currently underway or if there is any server failure. Users can check for this information on the PSN network status page.

Next, restart the console and connect to a wired connection before configuring the network settings. If configuring the network using a wireless connection, make sure that the console is near the router and that no other objects or electronic devices are blocking the signal. This is to make sure that no objects interrupt the connection or cause any interference.

After turning off the router for at least five minutes before restarting, contact your vendor to update the router's firmware. After this, try opening TCP: 80, 443, 3478, 3479, 3480 and UDP: 3478, 3479,49152～65535 ports. Do not worry, as you can contact your ISP to handle these processes. Then set up a static IP address manually in the network settings.

Try temporarily altering your DNS settings by heading to Network Settings > DNS Settings and configuring them with the number of the public DNS that is provided free of charge and accessible to the general public by companies or organizations.
