If your game closes suddenly with the message “Something went wrong with this game or app (CE-108255-1),”<\/strong> you aren’t alone. While this code looks scary, Sony technicians confirm it is 100% software-based in most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This error essentially means the console\u2019s “handshake” with the game data failed. Here is how to resolve it, from the simplest fix to the “deep” system resets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Answer: The 60-Second Fix<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Check System Update:<\/strong> Settings > System > System Software > Update<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Check Game Update:<\/strong> Highlight the game > Options button<\/em> > Check for Update<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Restore Licenses:<\/strong> Settings > Users and Accounts > Other > Restore Licenses<\/em>. This is a “magic bullet” fix for digital games that won’t launch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Solution 1: <\/strong>Rebuild Database <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    (Safe Mode)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If your PS5 “lost the map” to your game files, rebuilding the database will find them without deleting your saves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Turn off the console. Hold the power button for 7 seconds until the second beep<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Connect your controller via USB.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Select Clear Cache and Rebuild Database > Rebuild Database<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Solution 2: <\/strong>Game-Specific Fixes (FC 26 & Monster Hunter)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      If this error only happens in specific 2026 titles like EA Sports FC 26<\/strong>, the issue is likely a corrupted custom squad file rather than the console itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
