Why does my PS4 say 'Cannot access system storage'?

Best Answer

Could be a corrupted database. Boot into safe mode and select the 'Rebuild Database' option. This sometimes fixes the issue.

I've had this before. Check if your hard drive has popped loose. Open up your console and make sure it's connected properly.

You might be dealing with a bad hard drive or a loose connection. Try turning off your PS4, unplugging it, and then securely reconnecting the hard drive.

Hot take: Your PS4 might just need a break. Let it rest, and if the problem persists, consider a replacement hard drive.
