Prior to today's alleged fix, users reported that last week's PS5 system update (24.06-10.00.00) triggered Final Fantasy XVI crashes when loading save games or fast traveling. Could also add annoying black squares obstructing the game camera.
Sony has kept things vague, only describing the update with the purported fix (24.06-10.01.00) as an improvement to “system software performance and stability.” Earlier this week, IGNITION reported similar errors in Star Wars Outlaws, Death Stranding and No man's skyIt is not yet clear whether the update fixes the crashes in those games.
