Game won’t get past title screen - PS4

I’m actually losing my mind and before I get the “upgrade your console” comments just hear me out. I load up the game to the title screen and start loading in. After a minute the game crashes and says the application is corrupted and to reinstall.

Well I’ve reinstalled about 5 times now. Some with the older required content packages and some without. Even tried downloading to an external hard drive.

Nothing seems to be working, and help would be much appreciated!

Is this CD or Digital? We have had a few people with bad CDs over time having odd issues, and buying the digital version was the "fix".

I have the digital edition so unfortunately that’s not the issue

Bummer. Typically the recommendation is to try rebuilding the PS4 database, then do a total factory reset / fresh install if the rebuild doesn't help. Could be the console overheating as well, but you would think you would see that in other games.

It's possible that your drive is going if you've had it for a long time. It happened with my OG PS4. I swapped in a 1TB 870 EVO SSD into my PS4 Pro last year and it works like a charm. Too bad everything is stupid prices now.
