Minecraft freezes and it freezes my PS5 as well

It’s also the digital version not the disc version so this issue confuses me

Same issue. Never had this issue before now. Not overloading the game ether and am playing like normal.

@UselessLez have you found a fix? Or have a possible solution?

Same issue, and my PS5 doesn't log the error or give me the option to send a error report as the console completely freezes and requires a hard reset.

@obscurus00 have you found a fix? 

Yeah I think it damages it when it freezes and you have no choice but to hard reset it! Have you found a fix or a possible solution so far?

Same issue here. Had to tell my daughter to play on PS4 to not damage PS5. This has been happening for a while now, first time was like months ago. I thought that after some patches it would have been fixed by now, then returned to PS5. To my not surprise, it's still there. It's a bit rare to happen, but it does. Not gonna risk an expensive console over one game.

Still present 1.20.15

1.20.31 still no fix.

1.20.40

Had this issue since March.

It's probably not getting fixed at this point.

Minecraft is continually freezing up when I play on my PS5, since the last updates. When the game freezes it completely freezes my PS5 console and the only option I have is to unplug the power supply from the console in order to shut it down (which results in an inproper shutdown each time and needs to repair hard drive). Their is no way to send a bug report when this happens. The issue happens in any world I create (even in a brand new world). It happens mostly when I pause the game, but also happens when I am actively building. I have tried cleaning the cache, rebuilding database, and even uninstalling/ reinstalling the game—multiple times. The problem persists. This has made the game unplayable, and I am worried about it damaging my PS5 console since it keeps happening. This has never happened to me with any other game on my PS5.

Resolving temporarily as Awaiting Response. Is Minecraft installed on your console's internal storage or on an external USB storage?
This ticket will reopen automatically when you reply.

In my case, Minecraft is installed on internal. I've played around 30h without crashes, but  I start Minecraft after powering on PS5 (as first booted game, I suppose that when I played other game, and than started Minecraft without turing off console, crashes were occuring). I don't know if it's lucky streak or this method is working.

To enable us to look into this further, it would be helpful if you could also send a message to Mojang Support.

Please choose Technical Support as the category, and Game Crashes as the subject. In the form, please include:

• This bug ticket reference: MCPE-171562 (Please copy and paste this exactly, without it we may not be able to track and fix the issue)

• Your Gamertag

• A screenshot of your profile screen (Go to Minecraft>Settings>Profile, scroll to the bottom and take a screenshot of the IDs shown there)

(Please do not share this information here at the bug tracker.)

maybe this shows up in the error history of your PS5.

Personally I haven't experienced this deep freezes on my PS5 but maybe the crash is visible in the error history and you can attach it to the ticket as proof as the mojang team keeps ignoring this...

Affects 1.20.73

Game keeps freezing on me also. Cause my world file to get corrupted twice. This happens at least once a day, if not more. Cant even enjoy the game anymore since i have to copy my world constantly, so i dont lose progress. Its become very problematic. Sooner or later this game will damage my console

Got linked here from MCPE-172001

Don't see point...  Hard Freezes don't produce a crash report.

Its random, (as mention in other thread) Living my home, visiting a village, opening a barrel, grabbing items.  40-60min mark.

Its installed on Internal, Since pretty sure Ps5 still doesn't allow play from External. (like ps4 did)

Uninstalled and reinstalled game twice now.  Its  on latest version, since we have no way to load older version.

I've tried new saves, (100% wiped my old ones)   Ps3 edition ported to new, old ps4 saves) Hard Freezes regardless of save state.

Tried ps5 offline, still does it.

Turned all Pack off (only own true realism and 1 free one that doesn't work)

No other Game has this issue on my Ps5.

Everything was pretty decent after 1st Trails Update drop.  After each patch, game just got worse.

My game froze the other day. It hasnt done it in a bit. Froze right as i was laying down my ender chest. When i rebooted my system and loaded in my game. My ender chest was nowhere to be found. Sucks trying to play and enjoy a game when i contantly have yo copy my worlds every half hour in fear of losing my world to a corrupted file.  Gameplay has been stalling also lately to where no actions work until the game catches up. Its always something with this games performance sadly. Its such a fun game.

My game froze again as i was in the middle of building/adding to my world. Before i could even save. All my progress lost because it corrupted yet another world. This is becoming problematic and to be honest, complete BS. Makes me not even want to play this game until this problem is fixed. Tired of wasting my time. You just never know when its gonna freeze. Since its just random. Can happen at any given time. Whether you are standing there doing nothing or just playing. Its like russian roulette. 

It says resolved along side issues but I know it is not. It's been happening to me and now i'm side swiping to the left, playing the game on the PS5 a nightmare. As for freezing no solution out there, as for dressing room no solution and side swiping to the left I'm waiting for response. I now play Minecraft on the PS5 for a laugh. I can't help buddy just wanted to let you know you are not alone.   

As of July 10th (Update was 9th)  

PS4 version still Hard Freezes,  requires a hard ps5 reset (no error given)

Ps5 Beta Does Not, but also doesn't allow old worlds, so hard to Fully Test.

I'm on Windows 10 and am having a very similar issue to this where instead of the game freezing, the pause menu appears and pressing the Escape key to resume play doesn't work so I have to press the resume button with the mouse.

I haven't had any issues with worlds breaking or the game crashing, it all appears to be related to the autosave.
Decided to add this as a comment instead of creating a new ticket because of the recent influx of tickets following the Realms outage.

My PS5 is also hard freezing.  It happened once a few days ago, twice yesterday (I stopped playing), and again today.  It's interrupted my stream on twitch each too...

I don't like having to hard reset my PS5.  Each time, it yells at me for shutting it off improperly.  

Plus, it's a bad look for you guys...  streams constantly ending because of crashes...

I played Apex Legends and Asphalt Legends Unite after giving up on Minecraft yesterday...  in total, I streamed for about an additional 8 hours with no problems whatsoever.  So given my own experience in addition to what everyone else is saying, it has to be on mojangs end...

Worst of all, it's taken all of this for me to find this page and then make an account to leave a comment...  and I'd usually never do this.  But I kinda need minecraft to work when I want to play though, you know?  So I can only imagine how many more of us there is our there with the same exact problem and just aren't reporting it for whatever reason...  because the PlayStation isn't recognizing that's there problem so we can't send error reports.  

However you have to do it, could someone please get the word higher up in the chain of command?  We need yall to do something about this.  Please don't leave us hanging.  Thanks.  

Commenting here to add that I am also experiencing the same issue with Minecraft on PS5 Bedrock Edition. It's been quite frustrating as I can't enjoy Minecraft anymore. Additionally, I am concerned about the risk of my console being damaged.

I really hope the team can address this issue soon. 😞
