How to Get Your PS4 Out of Safe Mode

Best Answer

First, try restarting your PS4 by selecting the 'Restart PS4' option in Safe Mode. If that doesn't work, connect a DualShock 4 controller via USB and try option 3, 'Update System Software'. This can solve many issues!

Hot take: Sometimes it's just faster to initialize your PS4 (Option 6 in Safe Mode), but remember this will erase all data. Backup first if you can!

If restarting didn't work, try the 'Rebuild Database' option. This can fix corrupted data causing the Safe Mode loop.

In my experience, manually updating the system software via USB can work wonders. Download the update file onto a USB drive from Sony's website, then select 'Update System Software' in Safe Mode.
