While Crystal Dynamics just released a big title update for Marvel’s Avengers today that included a ton of bug fixes alongside new features, it seems the patch has managed to mess things up on the PS5 version. Multiple users have reported on the Marvel’s Avengers PS5 crashing issue after installing today’s patch.
Marvel’s Avengers PS5 Crashing Issue Reports:
Here’s one of the reports that surfaced on the game’s subreddit:
just installed 2.3 on ps5 and I can’t get passed the intro cut scenes from PlayAvengers
Fortunately, Crystal Dynamics is aware of the issue, and is currently investigating:

We are aware of a crash impacting PS5 players and are currently investigating the issue.
We’re not sure if Crystal Dynamics will release an emergency patch, or whether this can be fixed server-side. If there’s a workaround, we’ll update the post with it. If you spot anything that can fix this issue, leave a comment below to let us know.
Aside from the PS5 crashing issue, here are the other known issues that are still in the game, and was reported by Crystal Dynamics:
KNOWN ISSUES
- Onboarding Rework – White progress bar for Back in Action does not update accurately as you make progress.
- War Table Rework – Iconic, SHIELD, and Inhuman Faction missions may appear on the War Table if they were completed prior to updating to Patch 2.3.
- Nameplates flicker and may not reappear when a strike team loads into a mission.
- Hawkeye’s sword is sticking up from his feet in the character selection menu.
- Missions in partially completed Operations may disappear after updating to Version 2.3.
- A bug where Nick Fury’s lip sync doesn’t match his dialogue during the briefing.
- A bug will occasionally send the fourth player loading into a Strike Team back to the main menu with a ‘connection error’ message after accepting an invite to load into an Outpost.
- Equipping a Cosmic Potentiator will show an increase in status build-up for all statuses and not just Cosmic in the Heroes display panel. This is a UI error, and we are investigating.
- Some Potentiator perks when equipped in a warzone do not apply the bonus damage. We have found that reequipping them or equipping another Potentiator makes them function properly. We are currently investigating this issue.
- Priority Threat Sector rewards display still says “Hero Set Gear” instead of “Apex Power Set.” This will be fixed in an upcoming patch to reflect the correct name.
- Several villain sectors (Sight Unseen, in particular) show that they are giving out seven rewards instead of two on the War Table. This is a UI bug. Only the first two icons are the actual rewards – the others are not awarded upon completion. We are investigating why this is happening.
- Elite Vaults have been reported to show their Mission Chain rewards on the War Table instead of its mission rewards. Elite Vaults only give gear and fragments as mission rewards and not units. We are investigating why this happens at such irregularity.
- We’re aware of a UI issue causing overlapping text to appear when interacting with the Faction Terminal, Cosmetic Vendor, and Inhuman Faction mission giver, and we are looking for a fix.
If there’s a patch out, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
