Possible Fixes for Battlefield RedSec Not Launching on PS5 Error

Check Your Internet Connection 

Battlefield RedSec is a game that requires you to be online, so it is important to ensure that your internet connection is stable and working before you launch the game. We suggest using an Ethernet cable for the smoothest experience possible when playing Battlefield RedSec. Moreover, make sure that you don’t have any heavy downloads active in the background.

Restart Your Console 

The simplest trick in the book is to restart your PS5 and try to launch the game. More often than not, this resolves the issue. Often, background tasks interrupt the launching process, which can lead to errors such as the one that troubles you now.

Update Your PS5

Make sure that you’ve updated your PS5. Check for any pending system updates for the last few weeks. Once you’ve installed the latest update, you should be able to run the game with no issues.

Reinstall the Game 

We don’t recommend doing this unless you’ve run through the other options first. There could be an issue with the local files on your system, which will then require you to uninstall the game completely and re-download and reinstall the game from the PS Store.
