Via social media, the devs at THQ Nordic not only acknowledged that there are issues affecting the performance of the PS4 version of AEW Fight Forever, but they're actively working on finding a solution to these problems.

The same PlayStation support website recommends you do the following and see if that fixes the issue:

- If you have upgraded your system's hard drive disk ("HDD"), please re-install the original HDD.
- If the error occurs again, back up your saved data, and then go to Settings > Initialisation and choose Initialise PS4.
Twitter user PartsUknown found another potential fix: to turn off internet access from the PS4. Here's how to do it:
- Go to settings on your PS4.
- Select the network option.
- Uncheck the "connect to internet" box.
As you might expect, this means all online functionalities of AEW Fight Forever won't be available to you. But hey, at least you can play the game offline.
