If you’re a PlayStation 4 owner, you may have noticed that your game data is corrupted. This is because the console’s firmware has been hacked and the data has been changed. To fix this, you’ll need to reset your console and reinstall your games. Here are some tips on how to do this:

  1. Reset your PlayStation 4 To reset your PlayStation 4, first power off the console and then remove all of its components (except for the memory card). Insert the memory card back in and turn on the console. Once it’s booted up, press and hold down both power buttons until you see “reset” appear on the screen. Then release both buttons and confirm by pressing “okay.” The console will now reset itself to its factory settings.
  2. Install new games onto your PlayStation 4 Once reset, install new games onto your PlayStation 4 using either of two methods: online or offline mode. Online mode requires an account with Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) or another online service; offline mode does not require an account but does require a physical copy of the game software in order to be installed onto the system. Once all new games have been installed, press “okay” on the Playstation4 system screen to confirm that they’ve been successfully installed.
