How to Get a PlayStation 4 Out of Safe Mode

Best Answer

First, try restarting your PS4: select 'Restart PS4' in the Safe Mode menu. If that doesn't work, you might need to update the system software or rebuild the database. To update, choose 'Update System Software' from the Safe Mode menu. For a rebuild, select 'Rebuild Database'—this won't delete any data but can fix issues.

When my PS4 got stuck in Safe Mode, I fixed it by connecting a USB drive with the latest update file from the PlayStation website. Just pick 'Update System Software' and follow the instructions. Worked like a charm!

Hot take: If none of the Safe Mode options work, you might just need to back up your data and try initializing your PS4. It's a bit extreme, but it resets the system to factory settings.
