CE-108255-1
Game or App Error
CE-108255-1 is one of the most common PS5 errors, and it means a running game or app hit a problem and closed back to the home screen. It is almost always a software issue rather than a faulty console: corrupted game data, an out-of-date game or system build, or a bug in the title itself. Poor airflow and overheating can trigger it too. In most cases it clears quickly, a relaunch, a game or firmware update, or a Safe Mode database rebuild fixes it well before a full reinstall is needed.
