Heroes like Wolverine, Iron Man, and Blade must put aside their differences to save the world from an apocalyptic potential threat.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns crashing on PS5

However, many PS5 players have reported major crashing problems with Marvel’s Midnight Suns since its launch (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9).

The main problem with the game is that it crashes when players try to manually save their game after completing a mission or after playing it for a prolonged period.

The game even crashes during a tutorial or the loading screen as gamers find it to be a very frustrating situation as they have to repeat the same mission again.

I have put about 7 hours into Midnight Suns and all was good. I have been saving manually often, today after a main mission I tried to save and it crashed, I then when back to an auto save before I started that main mission. I did the mission again then tried to save and same again.

The fact that @midnightsuns keeps crashing specifically when you save must be one of the most angering day 1 bug ever. @FiraxisGames.

Furthermore, the issues don’t end here; the game can even crash when a player has completed a hero mission (1,2,3,4,5).

Players say that after completing a hero mission, when they click on the hero to get it, a loading screen resembling a comic book cover shows up followed by the game crashing.

This is a serious problem since that specific hero is now stuck in that quest, thereby rendering it unusable for any future missions.

Hey I’m on ps5 and my game keeps crashing when I go to check my completed hero op. I have iron man in there and I need him to advance in the story. What can I do?

Potential workarounds

Among the reports, there are also possible workarounds that can mitigate the issue. For those crashing on save, you can try saving in a new slot each time:

While for those stuck at Blade’s Hero Ops (comic book part), you can try to fix it by mashing ‘X’ as fast as possible:

I was able to fix this by mashing x as fast as possible. Took a few tries tho.

Yeah after my re-load I managed to do a different mission and then finished this one. Good job there was a save or I’d be stuck though.
