The idea of wiping your entire console and having to redownload all your games - especially with the size of them - sounds like an obnoxious workaround.


However, IGN said two of its staff members encountered the bug with other games. A number of users online claims it happened with the PS5 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. It’s unclear what exactly is causing the bug to appear. The only current fix for the bug should you get it is a factory reset of the console itself. Your PS5 library will show that you own the game or app, but the PS5 Store will ask that you purchase it. The game or app is then stuck in a limbo state, unable to download or be canceled and redownloaded. Both will prompt you to check the Downloads menu, which then shows nothing. The bug can then seemingly take two forms, either listing the game/app as Queued for Download, or as having suffered a download error. This time, the report comes not from a random internet source but instead from IGN themselves.Īccording to the outlet, multiple IGN staff members have encountered a bug that “causes games and apps to be caught in a ‘Queued for Download’ or error state.” The bug appears to pop up when a game or app is readying to download. The only fix is a factory reset of your PS5.Īnother day, another bug with the PlayStation 5.
