PS5 Crunchyroll Crashing, Freezing, or Not Working, How to Fix?
As mentioned there is nothing to worry about because we’ve shared a couple of possible solutions that can easily fix the particular crashing or freezing or not working issue on the PS5 console. So, without wasting any more time, let’s jump into it.
1. Check Crunchyroll Server Status
Make sure to check out the Crunchyroll server status by visiting the third-party Down Detector website whether there is any server outage happening or not. If there is a server downtime or maintenance happening in the background then make sure to wait for a couple of hours and try checking the server status again. If there is no server downtime or outage happening at that moment then make sure to follow the next method.
2. Disable Rest Mode on PS5
Sometimes the PS5 console may turn on the Rest Mode automatically by default which can obviously trigger multiple issues with the program launching on the PlayStation 5 console. You should disable the Rest Mode by following the steps below:
- Go to the PS5 Settings menu > Go to Power Saving.
- Now, select Set Time Until PS5 Enters Rest Mode.
- Make sure to select turn off for the Don’t Put in Rest Mode option.
- Once done, reboot the console to apply changes.
3. Update PS5 Software
We always recommend our readers update the PS5 software by following the steps below to check whether the program launching issue has been fixed or not. To do so:
- Go to the Settings menu on the PlayStation 5 console.
- Select System Software Update > Make sure to check for available updates and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update process.
- Once done, reboot the system to apply changes.
4. Check Your Internet Connection
No matter what can be the reason behind the Crunchyroll crashing or not working or freezing issue on the PS5 console, it seems that mostly the internet connection can play a major role. If in case, you’re facing the program crashing or can’t connect to the network issue then make sure to check your internet connection manually. You should switch the wired (ethernet) connection to Wi-Fi (wireless) or vice versa to check for the issue again.
That’s it, guys. We assume this guide was helpful to you. For further queries, you can comment below.
This did nothing and is a complete cop out. It’s clearly an issue in your side. You might as well have asked “Did you try turning it off and on again?”. Did that too, in case you’re curious.
None of this helped I was only able to watch the new episode of demon slayer and not one other single show will load the orange circle just keeps spinning, I followed all the steps and it didn’t help at all I’m highly disappointed and please get this fixed asap….ps it doesn’t work on my ps4 or ps5 or my iPhone
Aggreed this doesnt help at all the problem is defenitly not on my side fix your app
Everything mentioned is the basic steps. This is an ongoing issue I’m having and it’s only on my PS5. I have no issues with Crunchyroll on my mobile or Roku. Today, 4/16/2023, it crashed while I was in a middle of a show and it’s still down (4 hours and counting).
For me just to watch one show at time I’ve been going to my crunchyroll pp on my phone and pressing play on the episode and when it starts pause it then go to the app on my game system , and click continue episode and it plays it
crunchyroll just crshed right now watching a show it was fine just all of a sudden just oops something went wrong. restated my ps5 and my internet and still pops up.
I can’t even start the APP. It just has some furry little animal with a bucket on its head and it says Oops! Something went wrong. With a button that says try again that does nothing by hitting it. And to think I’m paying for this.
