由于性能和稳定性的大幅增强，PlayStation 5是索尼迄今为止最好的游戏机。然而，它也有其相当多的问题。如果用户界面运行缓慢或者您(user interface acts sluggis)在与 PS5 交互时(odd quirks while interacting with your PS5)注意到奇怪的现象，可能的原因之一是系统数据库混乱、损坏或碎片化。
这就是在 PlayStation 5 上重建数据库可以发挥作用的地方，本教程将提供分步说明来帮助您实现这一目标。
为什么你应该重建PS5 数据库(PS5 Database)
PS5 上的数据库是主机存储重要信息的地方，包括有关已安装游戏、保存的游戏文件和媒体库项目的数据。然而，随着时间的推移，它可能会因冗余、损坏和过时的数据而变得混乱。
假设(Suppose)您遇到加载时间变慢、游戏崩溃或其他意外行为，例如游戏和应用程序图标在卸载后很长时间仍保留在主屏幕上。(Home Screen)在这种情况下，这些通常可能表明数据库需要重建。
PS5数据库重建可重新组织您的数据、清理遗留问题并增强PS5 的(PS5)功能，从而带来更流畅的交互和游戏体验。别担心——没有任何内容被删除。
问题？此过程可能只需要几分钟到几个小时，具体取决于控制台上的数据。如果扩展托架中有 NVMe SSD(have an NVMe SSD in the expansion bay)或用于复制和移动数据的外部驱动器，(external drive for copying and moving data)预计时间会大幅增加。
由于可能非常耗时，因此最好在完成与您遇到的问题相关的其他适用修复后重建PS5数据库。(PS5)例如，您是否尝试过更新PS5的系统软件(updating the PS5’s system software)？
如何重建 PS5 数据库
重建PS5数据库是一个简单的过程，可以在(PS5)将控制台启动到安全模式(booting the console into Safe Mode)后完成。但什么是安全模式(Mode)？它是一个单独的启动环境，您可以在其中执行维护和故障排除活动，包括数据库重建。
在开始之前，您必须完全关闭主机 - 按DualSense无线控制器上的 PS 按钮，选择电源(Power)，然后选择关闭 PS5(Turn Off PS5)。如果已设置，您还必须连接扩展存储驱动器。然后：
- 按住主机上的电源(Power)按钮第二次发出蜂鸣声 - 这会在安全模式下启动(Safe Mode)PS5。
- 通过充电线将 PS5 的DualSense控制器连接到主机上的任何USB端口，然后按 PS 按钮 - 您将在屏幕上
看到安全模式选项列表。(Safe Mode)
- 使用方向键导航至清除缓存(Clear Cache)并重建数据库 - 按 X(Rebuild Database—press X)将其选中。
注意：根据PS5的品牌和型号，您可能会看到简单标记为(PS5)“重建数据库”(Rebuild Database)的选项。
- 您现在应该看到两个子选项 - Clear System Software Cache和Rebuild Database。我们建议您选择“清除系统软件缓存”(System Software Cache)并在重建数据库之前清除PS5上的缓存- 这样速度更快，会删除临时系统数据，并且可以解决您的问题。如果问题仍然存在，请重新进入安全模式(Safe Mode)并选择“重建数据库”(Rebuild Database)子选项。
- 等待(Wait)PS5在 PS5 上重建数据库-(PS5—a)进度条指示器会显示估计的剩余时间。(PS5)该过程结束后，控制台应退出安全模式(Safe Mode)并正常启动。
警告：在数据库重建阶段
请勿断开PS5的电源，因为这可能会严重损坏主机的系统软件。(PS5)
您的 PS5数据库已重建(Database Has Been Rebuilt)
健康的PS5数据库对于主机的流畅体验至关重要，而完整的重建可以在使其摆脱困境方面发挥重要作用。
这个过程需要一段时间才能完成，但幸运的是，多年来您只需要这样做几次即可。如果时间不是问题，那么作为维护措施，每隔几个月重复一次该操作也没有什么坏处。
请记住，重建 PS5 的数据库并不是解决所有问题的最终方法。如果您仍然遇到问题，还可以使用其他高级故障排除技术，例如将 PS5 重置为出厂默认设置(resetting the PS5 to factory defaults)。
How to Rebuild Your Playstation 5 (PS5) Database
Due to massive enhancements to performance and stabіlity, the PlayStation 5 is Sony’s best console to date. However, it has its fair share of issues. If the user interface acts sluggish or you notice odd quirks while interacting with your PS5, one possible reason is a cluttered, corrupt, or fragmented system database.
That’s where rebuilding the database on your PlayStation 5 can make a difference, and this tutorial will provide step-by-step instructions to help you with that.
Why You Should Rebuild the PS5 Database
The database on your PS5 is where the console stores essential information, including data about installed games, saved game files, and media gallery items. However, over time, it can get cluttered with redundant, broken, and obsolete data.
Suppose you’re experiencing slower loading times, game crashes, or other unexpected behaviors—e.g., game and app icons remaining on the Home Screen long after uninstalling them. In that case, these can often be signs that the database needs rebuilding.
A PS5 database rebuild reorganizes your data, cleans up loose ends, and enhances how your PS5 functions, leading to smoother interactions and gaming experiences. Don’t worry—nothing gets deleted.
The problem? This procedure can take anywhere from just minutes to several hours, depending on the data on your console. Expect the time to substantially increase if you have an NVMe SSD in the expansion bay or an external drive for copying and moving data.
Because of the potentially time-consuming nature, it’s a good idea to rebuild the PS5 database after working on other applicable fixes related to the issue you’re encountering. For example, have you tried updating the PS5’s system software?
How to Rebuild the PS5 Database
Rebuilding the PS5 database is a straightforward process that can be done after booting the console into Safe Mode. But what is Safe Mode? It’s a separate startup environment where you can perform maintenance and troubleshooting activities, including database rebuilding.
Before you begin, you must completely shut down the console—press the PS button on the DualSense wireless controller, select Power, and choose Turn Off PS5. You must also connect the expanded storage drive if one is set up. Then:
- Hold down the Power button on your console beeps for the second time—this boots the PS5 in Safe Mode.
- Connect your PS5’s DualSense controller via its charging cable to any USB port on the console and press the PS button—you’ll see a list of Safe Mode options on the screen.
- Use the D-pad buttons to navigate to Clear Cache and Rebuild Database—press X to select it.
Note: Depending on the make and model of your PS5, you might see the option simply labeled as Rebuild Database.
- You should now see two sub-options—Clear System Software Cache and Rebuild Database. We recommend you select Clear System Software Cache and clear the cache on your PS5 before rebuilding the database—it’s faster, removes temporary system data, and could resolve your issue. If the problem persists, re-enter Safe Mode and select Rebuild Database sub-option.
- Wait until your PS5 rebuilds the database on your PS5—a progress bar indicator reveals the estimated amount of time remaining. The console should exit Safe Mode and boot normally after the procedure.
Warning: Do not disconnect your PS5 from its power source during the database rebuilding phase since that can severely corrupt the console’s system software.
Your PS5’s Database Has Been Rebuilt
A healthy PS5 database is crucial for a smoother experience with the console, and a complete rebuild can play a significant role in getting it out of a rut.
The process takes a while to complete, but with luck, you’ll only have to do that a handful of times over the years. If time is not an issue, there’s no harm in repeating the action once every few months as a maintenance measure.
Just remember—rebuilding the PS5’s database is not the ultimate solution to all issues. If you continue encountering problems, other advanced troubleshooting techniques exist, like resetting the PS5 to factory defaults.
