PS4 shuts down with Fortnite.

Question

Hello, I need help; I have a very annoying problem that's been going on for a while:
My PlayStation turns off by itself during the loading of Fortnite from one day to the next. I rebuilt the database and deleted the game, but nothing has improved.

Hello! First of all, does the PS4 do this only with Fortnite or with other games as well?

Titi35 · Answer

I have the same issue.

I have the same issue, does anyone have a solution?

I have the same problem when I update a game too, and I think the hard drive isn't powerful enough to run Fortnite; the update and the system cause it to crash, and it started when I changed the hard drive of my PS because the original one died after my father unplugged it during updates when in rest mode.

I have been having the same problem for 2 days... I have already deleted the game and reinstalled it, but it's still the same issue! Please help me... the problem only affects Fortnite... the other games have no issues!

Hello.

I'm having the same issue, my PS4 won't launch Fortnite. It gets stuck on loading and the only way to unfreeze it is to turn it off by unplugging it...
Minecraft runs perfectly on my PS4, no bugs at all.
I bought my PS4 in November 2018 and until now, it had zero bugs...
Does anyone have a solution please, I'm feeling depressed...

Hello everyone, for my part, I had this problem and I unplugged the hard drive, blew on it and in the slot (I don't know if it did anything but I did it????)
I plugged it back in and it worked like a charm

There you go, I hope it will work for you too ^^

I have the same.

Carnage · Answer

I've had the same problem with Fortnite and I just fixed it. I had installed WARZONE but I only had 20GB of free space left. I cleared some space and it works again.

Raw · Answer

Just pause the downloads.

I have exactly the same problem, but I don't know how to fix it.

¡! UPDATE ¡!

I had to replace my internal hard drive that had given up... indeed, I think I left my PS4 on for too long (at least 2 days non-stop) to update, which may have caused it to fail. I was able to buy a 1TB internal hard drive at Carrefour for €59.99, which is much cheaper than the €150 PlayStation warranty.
I don’t know if my PS4 still works as well as before because I sold it to finally get a PS5. But after playing it for 2 weeks post-repair, it was working very well.
Try it; maybe that’s where the issue is coming from. Especially since if you open the box properly and that’s not the problem, you can return the product at Carrefour ????
I hope my comment helps you!

Hello everyone! I had the same issue, I realized that I had an update for another game in progress! You just need to stop the downloads. And after that, it started perfectly.

Nino13 · Answer

Good evening everyone, I see that this is happening to a lot of people too. My PS4 is doing the same thing, but I've noticed that it started after the system update for the PS4, and then Fortnite asked me to do an update as well within the hour following the system update. I'm asking if this has happened to you too, and I want to specify that other games like Call of Duty are working just fine. I just restarted my PS4 and I have a problem with the system software number CE-36329-3. I just reported it to Sony, and they should normally take care of it quickly!

Jere · Answer

I have the same problem, I can't see at all and the worst part is that I can play other games.

Sken · Answer

I had exactly the same problem for hours and hours but I fixed the bug. You just need to pause the downloads or updates of other games and restart Fortnite, it should work.

Mathis · Answer

I have the same thing.
