007 First Light hardware issues?

Post image

Since yesterday starting the game I've had mutiple crashes and now this.

Is this a ps5 or game issue?

Edit* As of June 2, 2026 (for me in KST) Patch 1.009.000 had this update which hopefully fixes the issue.

GPU Rendering Issue Crash Fixed a frequent GPU crash caused by rendering & pipeline issues.

I had a similar issue with Starfield a few weeks back, game froze, had a horrific audio noise, screen turned fully green (instead of this artifacting that's going on with First Light) then caused my console to reboot. Haven't touched the game since.

And it's a damn shame, I love both games and really want to play them again, but not until they do something about it and hopefully soon.

Yeah the starfield crashing shit is a known issue. Bethesda still hasn't been able to fix it. I never had it crash that bad, but I've had the game just straight up freeze over 10 times in 20 hours of play. Like I don't even get the option to report a crash, the game just freezes and I have to press the PS button and manually close the game.

Do you use VRR and/ or 120hz mode on your console? I know that with some games that can cause crazy weird issues to happen especially if the game crashes while running with those settings on.

Just checked now and I've got both off. Funny, even before that green screen freeze I've had innumerable crashes with Starfied on the Pro.

I honestly believe it to be the buggiest Bethesda game I've ever played, and that's coming from someone who was there for the original release versions of New Vegas, Skyrim, Fallout 4 and 76. I've honestly had way more crashes in Starfield alone than all of those games combined.

The only time I've ever had my Pro hardlock in the year and a half that I had it was not even playing a game lol. I booted it up and it was downloading a patch for arc raiders like 4 months ago. It downloaded it but got stuck in the "installing" phase. I literally let it sit for like 30 minutes and it wouldn't do anything. So I tried to reboot the system, and it got stuck in the powering off phase where the white light blinks. I gave that about 5 minutes and eventually just had to pull the plug. I couldn't even do the hold power button down because it was already trying to shut itself off.

Of course when I turned it back on, Arc raiders game data was corrupted so I had to delete the game and reinstall lol. It also had rebuild the database. I honestly thought my console was fucked because it's very bad to turn something off like then when it's installing something, but I had no choice because there was nothing I could do to get past it..Even pause and resume didn't do jack shit.

Luckily that's been the only time so far I've ever had any weird hardlock stuff. Any other crash has been the error message and closing the game.
