How To fix PS5 error code CE-10005-6
Fix 1: The Disk you are using is incompatible with PS5.
Whenever you are trying to install a game on PS5 through a disc, make sure that the disc specifications match the specifications mentioned on the PS5 website.
All the accessories and the disc that you are connecting to the PS5 should be according to the standards that are mentioned on the website. This is to make sure that the PS5 has compatibility with the accessories that you’re connecting.
If the disc that you are using is not according to the specifications of PS5, it is quite common knowledge that you will not be able to download or install any game through this disc.
The simple solution to this problem is visiting the PS5 website and looking at the disks you can use with your PS5.
Switch the older disc with the newer one that is compatible with PS5 and you will be able to get rid of this error and download or install your favorite game.
Fix 2: The disc that you’re using has scratches or dust on the surface.
The disc that you’re inserting into your PS5 should be free of scratches and should not have any dust on the surface.
When there are scratches or dust on the surface of the desk that you have inserted, it causes a problem with the PS5 in the identification of the disc.
The simple solution to this is to be mindful of the disc that you are using and keep it in a safe place to that it does not have any scratches. Also, wipe the disc with a soft cloth before you insert it into the PS5 console.
Fix 3: You have a slow Internet connection
The PS5 console is heavily dependent on the Internet for its functioning and updates. If the Internet connection that you’re using is slow and incompatible, then the PS5 will not function as it is supposed to.
There are many different errors that can cause a slow Internet connection. There might be a problem with your router. There might be a problem with your modem, the Internet service provider’s server might be down, or even the connecting wires that you are using might play a role in your slow Internet connection.
Connect another device to the Internet and make sure that the Internet connection is not a problem. If the other devices that you have connected to the same Internet connection are also having a problem, then you should work on solving the Internet problem before you can solve any problem with your PS5.
Fix 4: The PS5 server is down
As with any other gaming server, if there are many different users that are crowding the server at the same time, then there might be a problem with the server crashing.
The PS5 server is designed to take the weight of many different users playing at the same time, but as we said, no piece of technology is immune to any error. There might be rare cases in which the server of PS5 crashes because of a lot of traffic.
In this case, the only solution that you can apply is raising a complaint on the official PS5 website and going to the community online to find out if the other users are facing the same problem.
If the problem is occurring worldwide, then there is nothing you can do except wait for the technical team to solve the problem. You can make sure that the technical team will be working overtime to clear this issue as soon as possible because this is affecting many users at the same time.
Fix 5: Your PS5 console is glitching.
Sometimes the issue lies with your PS5 console and there is no problem with the disc. As we have mentioned above that the users are complaining that sometimes they face this error even when they have not inserted any disc into their PS5.
We can explain this with the glitch in the PS5 system.
To remove this glitch or fix this glitch in the PS5 system, what you can do is either try to restart the PS5 console or you can also try to power cycle the PS5 console.
If you are OK with all your preferences being deleted, you can also try a factory reset on your PS5.
But be warned that you should always try the solution only when the other solutions have not worked because this will erase every kind of preference in settings that you have made on the PS5 for your convenience.
Fix 6: The storage on your PS5 is full
Since this error shows up when you’re trying to download or install a new game on your PS5 console, if there is no storage space left on your console, it makes sense that you will be blocked from installing the new game.
If you are experiencing this error without inserting a disc into the PS5, you should always check the storage capacity of your PS5. Sometimes we just assume that there is storage space left on the PS5 but there isn’t because the games that you have previously installed have now downloaded their own updates, and the size of the game has grown from the time you installed it first.
To solve this problem, always make sure before installing or downloading a new game that you have the space that the game requires in order to be downloaded on the PS5 console.
