Players face loading issues with Assassin's Creed Shadows
Many players are having trouble loading the game Assassin's Creed Shadows on PS5 and Xbox consoles. If you're stuck on a frozen screen or in a loading loop, don't panic. There are steps you can take to fix these issues. First, try restarting your console. For PS5, hold the power button for about 10 seconds until it turns off. Unplug it for 30 seconds before plugging it back in and turning it on. For Xbox, hold the power button for around 10 seconds to fully shut it down. Wait a minute before turning it back on. Next, check for any system updates. Outdated software can cause problems. On PS5, go to Settings, then System, and select System Software Update. On Xbox, navigate to Settings, choose System, and click Updates. If the game still won't load, verify the game files. On PS5, highlight the game, press the Options button, and select Check for Update. For Xbox, go to My Games & Apps, select Manage, and choose Updates. If issues continue, consider reinstalling the game. Simply delete it from your console and then redownload it from your library or the store. For PS5 users, clearing the cache may help. Turn off the console, unplug it for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in and restart. Check Ubisoft's server status online as well. If servers are down, that could be why you're having trouble. If the game crashes due to syncing problems, you can disable cloud sync for PS5. Go to Settings, then Saved Data and Game/App Settings, choose Saved Data, and disable auto-sync. For further fixes, rebuilding the database on PS5 might resolve system errors. Start your console in Safe Mode, hold the power button until you hear two beeps, and select Rebuild Database. If nothing works, consider a Factory Reset as a last resort. On PS5, go to Settings, choose System, then Software, and select Reset Options to reset. On Xbox, navigate to Settings, choose System, and select Console Info to reset. Regular updates and proper ventilation can also help avoid issues in the future. If you're still having problems, reach out to Ubisoft Support or your console's customer service for help.
