That said, several Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker players are reportedly getting a ‘Failed to Retrieve Server Data’ error message (1,2,3,4,5). Many are angry and frustrated and wondering why they are unable to play the game.

Some have tried restarting their system and reinstalling the game thinking it was a problem on their part but to no avail. You can see in the image below what the error message looks like in the image below.

So as it’s one of the free PlayStation plus games this month I downloaded this game on my PS5, and I was online earlier today and everything was fine, but now every time I try to go on it it says “failed to retrieve server data” and makes me play offline. Before you state my connection is bad, it’s not, I’m using a LAN cable and connection is fine. I’ve tried rebooting console, re downloading game, resetting internet connection all of it and it still won’t let me online. Any help?

Cannot connect to server. Hello! I have downloaded the game on ps4 yesterday and now today I am receiving a message stating “failed to connect to server” I have searched online and reset my system, disconnected and reconnected my internet. I am also on a wired connection so it shouldn’t be my speed or stability. Your help is much appreciated! Thank you

Unfortunately, the game developers are yet to comment on the issue where several Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker players are getting a ‘Failed to Retrieve Server Data’ error message.

However, we came across a workaround that might help fix the problem. It requires players to spam the entry until the game loads.

Also, the support team had already informed gamers that the game will be under maintenance for a few hours. So, this could be the possible reason why players were getting ‘Failed to Retrieve Server Data’ error.

Update 2 (June 17)
