The PS5 Has A Battery Problem?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Over the last few weeks there has been a lot of talk around Sony and an issue dubbed CBOMB where the battery inside the console will run out of power causing the PlayStation system to not play physical games anymore. This was mostly for the PS4, but people were also wondering about the PS5 so I figured we could take a look at it today and see if it has the same issue.

As a physical media lover, this makes me very happy, now I no longer have to worry about my physical PS4/PS5 games dying out due to the system.
I like physical media too but in general we are at a disadvantage because most new game have patches and expansions so the physical media for new games is pretty much not worth cause if the servers went down we'd be SOL. I do hope that sony takes after microsoft when it comes to backwards compatibility and just makes all the games available in the future so when we get nostalgia of old games we can boot it up on whatever system we have currently
@@MagicBrownMan that’s why you jus get the “complete” or “goty” version. I know not every game has one of these but a lot now do especially most of the bigger titles etc.
@@MagicBrownMan true but I wait for secretly reprint like Spyro (no updates) or goty.
Most games “Single player” are fine without patches.
Like Arkham city ps4 it maybe crash but it’s very very low
@@herbalterrorist420 Those goty editions still feature download codes for the extra content it comes with, typically. I agree with you for the most part, though.
@@Elysiabikha - I only saw one or two RUclips videos about Spyro Ignite remade games being on the disc instead of having to download.
Why would the company be secretive about that? Seems silly! Is all of the Updates/Patch/DLC on disc without downloading anything whatsoever??
Well as a person who prefers physical I'm happy with this. Now if only I could get a PS5 near me
My advice is follow the ps5 restock twitter accounts, and turn notis on. Race to buy it online thats how i got mine
Some small town targets and Walmarts will occasionally have a few new systems on their shelves... I got mine from a friend who bought it from a target in his area
Buy one then
Same brother✊
@@ImAbran same lol also restocks are usually between 6-7 AM here in the west coast
Very relieving that the PS5 does not kill disc playback.
Definitely. It’s at least better than no games at all working on it. Makes me feel a bit better. Even if the PS4 won’t be able to play physics games, we can still play physical PS4 games on PS5. It’s still an issue that I hope Sony will fix, but at least we have some option.
Tell this to people who bought the digital edition
@@BensyBens eww lol.
Physical is the way to go. For everything lol. Games. Movies. Comics. Etc
@@BensyBens People who did are stupid lol.
@@BensyBens They knew the risks. They said No to ownership a long time ago.
Sony needs to rethink a number of things. The addition of an off-line no trophy basic profile for legacy play should be in ps3 ps4 and ps5. And they absolutely can patch it in.
Well lets hope they patch it in the future before the servers will shutdown so people can play their digital purchased games forever as long as the system last.
Of course, they can - they just do not want to!
@@lucasterable Which is an Anti-consumer move. Remove your game library you paid money for. What's next? a subscription to use your console?
@@DeadPhoenix86DP technically they can block completely your ps if you go against their services policies, so if you crack the console they can block it and make you unable to use it
@@hxh-zz4fh Only if you jailbreak your system and go online with it. But they can't do a thing if you're not online and using a second account.
Systems should have an easy battery switch if it's a system killer. Period thank you for doing this for the community.
The wii is a perfect example of this, its super easy to change the battery.
HA! If it's a system killer, the company wants you to buy a new system. NOT give you the ability to fix your own system.
Well he proved on the ps4 teardown swapping the battery doesn’t fix the issue.
its not a system killer lol
PS5 seems fine with offline/physical games so it's a PS4 issue
Next Video: Will the PS6 have a C-Bomb problem?
@Johnny Silverhand Exactly what I am thinking. Sony wont allow any of this to happen anyway. There is zero point in making videos about something that will never happen.
@Johnny Silverhand it’s the best way of simulating what it would be like when the servers go out and the battery dies
its called fear mongering... he's made so many videos on it . i'm bordering on unsubscribing... sigh
@Johnny Silverhand Well *_you_* obviously don't work in IT or are any kind of electronics engineer. Sheesh, this thread is so uninformed.
@Johnny Silverhand “This is all fake” - You’re absolutely right. RUclipsrs should wait 10~20 years for the batteries to naturally die, then travel back in time before they can actually tell us what happens.
... Instead of, you know, shortcut the process to show us functionally the same result.
One more test that should be done to fully verify this - after removing the battery and in an offline state, insert a physical disc that has *not* been played on that system before, install, and run.
@@subtegral will it play a physical copy of Hollow Knight
@@GamerBoy870 no doubt! Not sure if the DLC is on the disc tho
If the system is offline, it installs whatever data is on the disc. You could play Cyberpunk version 1.00 on it 😂🤣
@@jacobradabaugh6241 I believe the physical copy has all the content on the disc
This is why digital games are trash and physical games are treasure.
Every time I see someone opens a new, perfectly functional system, my heart stops.
Not like it's rare, there are tens of millions out there and they are making more. People cutting up older systems is more of a concern.
@@Not-Great-at-Gaming

That outro music caught me off guard
Astros playroom has a pretty decent little soundtrack lol

LoL, the song started playing the moment I saw your comment (when I was starting to scroll down, as the video comes to an end).
@@peepeefart you can stream it too lol
@@peepeefart
Astro playroom is a lame tech demo for poor people
I feel sorry for the people who have bought a PS5 digital knowing this issue exist and hoping the servers are around in the distant future for them
Knowing Sony's current plan, their exclusive games might head to pc so this wouldn't be a huge deal.
@@junglezone7323 your thinking the wrong scenario I'm talking about people that have them already and will continue to do so having any digital purchases, just because future PC ports might happen those PS5 games don't just automatically get the PC version for them for free. One day these digital machines will become useless one day unless Sony patches it out.
I understand what your trying to get at but PlayStation doesn't have play anywhere like Xbox does with it's Exclusives having a PC version also with the purchase
I'm pretty sure in 20+ years they'd already have moved on to new hardware lol
@@heavyrain5949 great another Sony fan that's part of the throwaway mentality, if you didn't know nearly 15 years later lots of people are still using PS3s so yes 20 years time people will still be using the PS5 and playing the amazing games from PS4 and PS5 you may not care but others do. You have no idea in the future if any of your PS4/PS5 games library will be compatible with let's say a PS9 and if you already own the console already why pay for another machine to play an old game in the distant future or are you one of those idiots that upgrades there phone every year but puts the same apps and games on every year.
I don't know what it is Sony fans they are so passionate about there Exclusive games and how great they are which I agree they are great and amazing but doesn't care about the future of them
You should try earning a trophy while the battery is out. I’m mostly curious since it’s server based around trophies syncing.
Honestly this is one thing I loved about the Wii U the battery is easy access if it needs replacing.
I had take it apart to replace the fan. Accidently found the c battery slot. Then wondered ifthe c battery was important for the system 😆
Wii U was one of the best engineered consoles ever... it's sad it didn't take off at all...
They still gotta do something I have all my Ps4 and Ps5 games digitally which are like 150 games i dont want to lose acces to all my games after spending all that money throughout these years and I'm sure I'm not the only one
Considering how hard they pushed digital only consoles they really have to, otherwise they will be abandoned by millions of angry ex fans when they lose their stuff.
Chances of them caring and doing doing anything is slim to none
@@qrowthebird7496 they cared enough to not shut the stores down for ps3/vita
@@kpridezzang mostly because people started panic buying games which made SIE see that they could still make more money keeping the stores open a while longer
@Thomas Shears you're right I was thinking the same but considering how Sony doesn't really care for PS1 to PS3 games got me a little scared with this battery situation but yeah hopefully the PS6 and beyond will be compatible with PS4 and PS5, it should be like u said because it's gonna be like upgrading you're PC basically
Thank spawn wave for addressing this issue.
@Johnny Silverhand sony is more likely to listen to spawnwave than to yu.

This issue. This "issue". Sorry, give me a second, i need to laugh uncontrollably on the floor at your comment first.

Aight I keep replying to your comments because I want to see this happen too
Yeah
Day 69 of asking you to SHUT UP!!!!!!
Suddenly.... I started dancing!
This is why I'm going back to physical games
same, never buying digital games ever again.
This is why digital games are trash and physical games are treasure.
Have fun with your half finished and half baked games. Everyone knows at this point that the game you get at release (which would be the physical copy) is somewhere b/w 50-70% complete. The fact that physical games are still playable solves very little.
Worth to note that someone else on Twitter tried this out and whether games work after C-bomb or not depends on the game. As you can see in this video some games boot up, while others will straight up refuse to install.
You should have also tried a fresh install of a ps5 game and a PS4 game. I'm definitely wondering if the latter would need to check/download a compatibility profile of some sort.
Excellent point 👍
If the system is offline, it will just install from the disc with no checks.
@@steve833333 Depends on if the data is on the disc. I heard AC Valhalla only has 2 GBs on the disc, and it's basically a glorified access code.
@@steve833333 you are missing the point. I'm talking especially about PS4 games here, not every single one of which runs ootb on ps5. Or maybe they default to running in a basic compatibility mode and everything is fine. The disks are right there to check it out in any event.
This is why digital games are trash and physical games are treasure.
I love this channel. It's more like Tech channel than some other YT channel that name himself "ReviewTechUSA"
Yeah, that guy I subbed for one night, and then I UNsubbed; he just talks nothing about tech and useless livesteams while wearing no shirt!😣😣

That dude got so lazy he became a dramatuber. Lame, but his content sucked anyway.
Well this is good news!
Not all games work properly
A lot of PS5 criticism and Microsoft stroking recently. I wonder why 🤔
It all goes to shit when Microsoft actually have to show games 😬
@@duncanself5111 B-b-but there's Gamepass where you can pay for thousands of games you'll never realistically have a chance to play... says the guy that still can't secure a PS5, lol... I actually have games and no console.
@@subtegral I thought about doing that but then was glad I didn't when all the PS5 issues started piling up. You just can't trust game companies to release things smoothly, I just spent the money on retro games instead this year.
Yeah it's because sony wont kiss ass and give all of there news away . Right now all of these youtubers are just scrambling for something to talk about soon as the exclusives start to drop it's right back on the bandwagon . It's sad but it's how they make s living cant knock em .
@@subtegral yaya!
Should have progressed in each game, saved, then tried to load your progress.
Thank goodness I can play my physical games!
Kind of. Tests done by other RUclipsrs show that it's hit-or-miss, with some games not working completely or at all.
You should watch till the end of the video. So, you can't. Still, it will affect nearly all PS3/PS4 Games.
Nice to see physical games are still playable despite that.
This is why digital games are trash and physical games are treasure.
This is such a relief! My PS5 had already flat out replaced my PS4 thanks to its backwards compatibility but knowing it doesn't have the CBOMB and I can continue running my physical discs on it after the battery dies just provides that much more reassurance.
Not that difficult to change the battery...
@@pest174 yeah but it's about whether the system needs to contact the servers more than the battery itself...
@@pest174 try changing it when the servers are gone. That’s the point.
It would be interesting, if this cmos problem also occurs on ps4, when you use a new User, that never was logged in to playstation network and installs a game fresh
That’s a great question. Hopefully we can get him to see this so he can test it out
Valid point, too 👍
I have come across several posts on the internet dating 2015 and 2016 where people didn’t have internet connection available but were still able to play games offline after buying a new ps4. I have not seen any videos in the past month showing the cmos battery removed and performing a factory reset after removing the cmos battery. From what I know is trophy’s are linked to an account you create online. No internet, no profile, no trophy’s. So theoretically it is supposed to work.
@@Sammy-iw9en well if that is true, then the problem is smaller than people are thinking imho
@@Superbad22 He did exactly that in a previous video.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they put out a small update before everyone started checking the PS5 after all the concern around the PS4 lol
Love how worn your S.T.A.R.S shirt is, much respect!
Lol
STARS!!! (You know the voice)
Well, this makes my eventual next-gen console purchase decision a lot easier!
That's why I got a Nintendo switch
Another reason why I like physical copies.
how long does it take for the battery to die ? will you still be playing the ps5 by then?
@@nine7403 my grand kids might
@@nine7403 Physical is the best form of media anyway
@@Crazybark your grandkids will probably be too busy playing on the ps6 or 7 by then
@@TheToxicity changing cd's every time i want to play something else, nah i'm good on that
even if that means i might lose access to those games in 10-15 years
Excellent news! I'm very happy that when I eventually get my hands on a PS5, my PS4 collection will live on!
You should try a physical copy thats not already installed. Also maybe try physical games that supposedly dont have the whole game on the disc. Like AC Valhalla?
Im really not rushing out the door to give sony my money this gen.
Do what i did and get a Xbox instead lol
@@Retro_Gamer_89 Xbox has the same issue. Without an internet connection you cannot setup the console, which makes it a brick. And digital games needs to booted once in order to play it offline.
@@DeadPhoenix86DP This is only a PS problem
@@Retro_Gamer_89 In terms of c-bomb yes but if your talking about playing games offline no. You can't play xbox series x games offline.
@@jinxypoptart448 You can play Xbox Series games offline from disc. Digital games needs to be started online once. After that it can be played offline.
i wonder if there is a server check like a month later or something??? I am pretty sure Sony will eventually patch this issue out...or at least they BETTER!
People always say "This isn't really a issue because it will be forever before PSN shuts down." The battery on my PS4pro died already (I wasn't aware at the time) and we had a big storm hit and we lost internet. (We don't have cable TV) so without internet we had nothing to watch, no Netflix, Hulu, etc just our phones that would use alot of data. So I got on my PS4 and every game had that little lock symbol on it. So it's not just an issue when PSN dies. People lose internet every day for various reasons. It's an issue that effects people today.
You should make Astro Bot your teardown music. LOL
Setting it manually doesn't work since it doesn't change the kernel clock (it just changes the user clock offset).
ASTRO THEME MUSIC 👏🏽👏🏽😭
The Sega Saturn had a small plastic lid that you open with just your fingers to get to the battery inside. Very easy to get to, to replace.
The Sega Saturn doesn't lock down the disc drive keeping you from playing your games if the battery dies.
Pretty logical that physical will always be superior i would never be that lazy to buy digital only.On pc you can buy a lot of digital games drm free and buying digital on a console doesn’t even make sense because the ability to buy physical is the only thing what makes them special
Thanks for keeping the conversation going! It's cool sony kept the severs up for ps3, But this Cbomb has gotta get fixed. We can't let Sony off the hook.
@@subtegral People should still be able to play on their old consoles and not be forced to try to find a new one. I can still play on the PS2 I bought off eBay. This practice they're doing is incredibly scummy and should NOT be excused.
@@subtegral True gamers never move on, They still play older games and systems, sorry aren't a real gamer buddy
Dude press start and make sure the disk versions work and not just the load screen.
Exactly, no sense to just display start menu and no in game
Fun fact no one has watched the entire video yet.
@Armando Aranda By now...well yeah, no shit
Shout out to Astro. Love that little robot.
I'd like to test if the physical games weren't already installed too, just in case the check is made when installing
@@subtegral Yeah, probably, but we can't know for sure unless we try
I’m happy your testing PS5 CBOMB more.
The clock DRM problem is about titles with expiration dates. For example stuff you get from PSN+, as these are technically rentals whose expiration time are synchronized with the end of your subscription. The trophies have to register unlock time and that could be the source for the CBOMB issue on discs and digital things without expiration dates.
One thing is for certain, I'm experiencing some minor stick drift in my PS5 controller.
Sony got sued for that
And your trigger springs will break! Guarentee!
@@gtibro6799 they better get sewed about that yes. I hope they have to pay a real big fine and then fix this problem fast for once and always.. ps4 controllers sucked, ps5 controller suck even more, even tough they feel more premium..
Dont get me wrong, I am on Sony’s side, but if Sony cant decide they have to create quality controllers, let us decide that in the form of a case and fine they have to pay. I am not going to buy 8 controllers in this gen just to game, and I will certainly not buy them anymore from Sony if they dont fix their trash.. What I will do is return all my controllers. If that dont work I will buy new ones and bring them back the same day with my old controller in it🖕rinse and repeat..
@@ClosestNearUtopia that's what I do with Xbox controllers
@@gtibro6799 do they just suck as hard as well in qualitiy and reliability?
Gotta love that RGT 85 If-it’s-a-Question Mark?-you-can-say-anything strategy lol
This outro music is bumpin!
Theres word going around that the xbox one and series x consoles have a built in drm problem thats just as bad as the cmos battery, something about switching out the hard drive and getting it set back up, then asking you to set up an account through xbox live before using it, with no possible way of skipping it.
It is kinda of a worse problem but on the other hand Microsoft is going nowhere even if they left the console space I'm sure you could download your profile probably not that much different as when you use your email and password in am email client. But ether way both have issues and I have contacted both I know little old can't do much but it all helps.

Sony's response: Great catch. We'll be sure to patch that with the next PS5 "stability update".
Just get physical when ever possible.
It's not a brick, imagine my shock,

How did you turn your ps5 into black that looks way better
he has a video on custom face plates. its pretty simple if you can get a hold of a good set.
@@MagicBrownMan the middle looks different no?
@@chrismccombe6961 the middle is a skin, I believe he got the set from dbrand. In the video he said dbrand had the best quality compared to the other brands. Dbrand has a lot of choices when it comes to the middle skins bit I believe the shells are backordered bit they plan to have more in the future
But what happens if you didn't pre-install the ps4 games and there are patches. My guess is your SOL for the patches then. And does the game install if you break the internet connection first.
I’ve been thinking about this more, what if it takes a full year for the expandable storage?
It will probably get announced at the next Sony event.
@Hermann Göring where did you get this information? Sounds like fanboy talk
@Hermann Göring sony hasn't said anything about the m.2 storage other than a rumor stating it will be avaliable in the summer. If you can send me a link yo Sony saying "it is overheating" I will believe you, but as of now it sounds like fanboy hogwash.
@Hermann Göring also what qualification do you have to speak on computer hardware knowledge?
@Hermann Göring also do not link any bloomberg artickes or anything as they are talking to "insiders" who half the time do not soeak the truth.
I think I would want you to install a disc off line. So the app is NOT fully updated and see if that ran. As going in the future, someone 20 years from now might buy a PS5 and a few games, no servers available. Will they be able to play those games ?
I would like to know if the Nintendo Switch has this problem as this was the first case I heavily invested in digital games. Could you do a video about that?
Like most portables it probably doesn't have a cmos battery. In fact the only one I know of that does is the Neo Geo Pocket Color, since it also doubles as a save memory battery.
As the Switch is already hacked from day one (thanks, Nvidia), and with Switch emulation progresses, at least we're sure to be able to play those games with or without Nintendo help in the future.
This is why I refuse to go all digital. Glad to see physical games will be safe at least
No More Old Games For You Says Jim Ryan, your going to buy our remakes and your gonna like it
@Carl Ward there’s people out there that wear 2 mask 😷 at a time, that’s how stupid some are.
Thank you for this
We should try this 4 years down the road just in case Sony incorporates this DRM in future updates
Be careful buying digital games, folks
No. Who even buys disc games anymore
Legitimate question: was this test performed with a PHYSICAL game that you hadn't previously played on your PS5? I'm wondering if the fact that your PS5 already had those physical games loaded made any kind of difference? And if you were to test it with a brand new game you hadn't previously installed/played/authenticated on your PS5, would the same thing happen?
It has been an issue for me on my SeriesX.. Im trying to install Nier Replicant with the CD on my Xbox (without Internet).. doesnt work 😡 they want me to go online.
So now Im thinking of moving to PS5 but if it does the same, I wont even bother
This has actually swayed me no internet connection to play a game or even activate the console might just get a PS5 over a Series X

Spawn Wave, You only showed us the main screen on the PS5 game, the PS4 game and the Astro game. But did you actually try to play the game? Horizon Zero Dawn only came up with the message, when you tried to play the game. If you didn't try to play the previous games, how can you be sure the same thing won't happen to them?
Spawnwave is answering all the hard questions
@Johnny Silverhand now we know what would happen if it did die
i feel like this isn't the best test since what really matters is when the servers disconnect, and the battery is dead, can i buy a "new to me" game, pop it in, and be able to play
edit: though i imagine it won't make much difference beyond not having the available patches but, still i think should've tried one game fully updated and one that is new to enter the system
I was thinking the same thing, grab a random PS5 game that was NOT installed on the console and try to install it and play it... I think this should of been a mandatory trial. This is the type of thing what would happen more 20+ years from now.
No. The end(?)
I just don't like the idea that hardware that I purchase has to be connected to an online server to function at all. It means you really don't own your own console.

I wonder if it will work by installing a new ps4 or ps5 game into the ps5 without connecting to the network first and installing any updates?
You should do this with a new series x without any internet connection.
Xbox consoles doesn't have a CMOS Battery. And you need a internet connection to set it up the first time or you cannot use it. Offline accounts do not exist like the X360. Physical games work fine offline, digital games needs to be started once in order to use it offline. Achievements won't unlock until you re-connect. So yeah if you bought a Xbox One or Series consoles which had a factory reset, its pretty much a brick. If you manage to set it up before the server shutdown, it can play physical disc's.
@@DeadPhoenix86DP that's ridiculous man imagine buying a series console and you don't even have internet, to begin with so that's 500 dollars down the drain
@@animecompilations8810 I think they did this for security reasons.
@@DeadPhoenix86DP I'll just have to get the PS5 then when its available last thing I need is for me to have internet connection just to activate a console
@@animecompilations8810 its only needed for the first time. After that you can use it offline for as long as you want. Its MS way of protecting their systems from security flaw's such as playing illegal games or using hacks to cheat online.
Problem with digital versions is understandable. There are games pre-loading few days before release. This check i needed to block the ability to play those games before they'll be released.
And i'm wondering to what servers PS5 send requests when you set up the time. It can be some Sony server, but also it can be one of internetional time servers. Those will run forever so there must be no problem to play digital games even after Sony will shut down it's servers.

They both should've been delayed by 6 months
if you are going to open up your ps5, id say take pictures or videos of the original setup so you can back track the position and cable connections. Also, keep the screws in a shot glass so you dont wind up loosing them. Great video, nice to know the ps5 will have the same functionality as my ps2....

safe to say that a good amount of people will also be using their PS5 to play PS4 games as well, but the issue is that i have more than 2tb worth of games and had to intall a 3.5 inch hard drive with a nyko databank on my PS4. i kinda wish that sony would realize that game sizes are getting pretty enormous and anything less than 1tb is not gonna cut it for most people who are gonna get more games than what the current PS5 can contain
Sony can do a lot of things but choose not to do them, which is very upsetting. A lot of their choices end up being anti-consumer quite often.
Every thing is "anti-consumer" if it doesn't fit your personal needs/desires
Well these so called problem is not really a problem. Change battery, connect to internet and set time. Then you are good to go for another 15-20 years before changing next battery.
Still bizarre that they are so aggressive with digital games, you'd think they could implement an "offline mode" like Steam.
Regardless, sails will be hoisted when these services eventually shut down.
So this really isn’t as big an issue as everyone was making out then, perfecto 👌🏻
Well it is for the ps4. Luckily sony didn’t screw gamers again on the ps5
It's a big issue if you like to play your games again & again many years from now.
Going from a PS5 digital with a library of games to an Astro Bot machine seems like a big issue to me. Hopefully they'll find a way to secure your digital purchases that doens't involve the servers being up.
@@subtegral fuck that the ease of digital and no clutter is nice. My steam library has been going strong for 17 years now. Can still play every game i own no issues
Two questions: 1. Did you get Horizon from PS Plus or you bought it, and 2. Did you try putting in uninstalled physical games?
I’m happy that I won’t ever have to worry about not being able to play my PS4 games since I own a PS5, sadly I know not everyone can say the same though with how hard it is to get a PS5 lmao
You didn't try deleting the physical game's data and trying to reinstall them from scratch, iirc there are reports that shows the installation process getting stuck at like 97% and not finishing, but maybe that can be fixed somehow I don't know.
