Crystal Dynamics has released the Marvel’s Avengers update 1.000.037 patch, and upon checking, this seems to be just for the PS5 version of the game. As one might expect given the crashing issues the PS5 version has been suffering ever since patch 2.3 was released, this is a fix for that so players won’t have to do the workaround that will reset your campaign progress.

While no announcement has been made by Crystal Dynamics today just yet, the studio did confirm an update was incoming for the PS5 to fix the crashing issue:
Our team is continuing to investigate the issue causing a crash for some PS5 players. We think we've identified a fix that is currently being implemented/tested. We hope to have more news by tomorrow morning and will continue to keep you updated.

For those curious about the workaround, here’s what Crystal Dynamics shared yesterday about it:
In the meantime, here’s a workaround that is resolving the issue for some players – just note that it will reset your campaign progress:
Go to Operations and Reset your Reassemble Campaign Progress. As soon as you become young Kamala on A-Day, force close the game from the PS home screen, then you should be able to start Avengers Initiative.
Yeah, not ideal, no? Once we get the official changelog, we’ll be sure to update the post. If this indeed fixes the PS5 crash issue, let us know down in the comments, true believer!
Update: Post has been updated with the proper announcement from Crystal Dynamics.
