PlayStation Error Code CE-107880-0 — What It Means & How to Fix It

What Does This Error Mean?

CE-107880-0 means a game or application crashed on your PlayStation 5. The console closed the app and returned you to the home screen. This is a software crash — similar to a program crashing on a PC. Most of the time it is caused by a specific game bug, corrupted game data, or a system software issue. The fix depends on whether it happens in one game or all games.

Affected Models

PlayStation 5
PlayStation 5 Digital Edition

Common Causes

Game-specific bug or unpatched issue in the game's code
Corrupted game installation data on the console's SSD
Outdated game version that conflicts with the current PS5 system software
PS5 system software bug that affects certain games
Overheating PS5 causing the system to shut down applications to protect itself

How to Fix It

Check for a game update. On the PS5 home screen, highlight the game, press the Options button, and select Check for Update. Install any available update. Game patches often fix crash bugs in specific titles.

Many CE-107880-0 errors are game-specific and fixed in the next patch update. Check the game developer's social media or support page for known crash issues.
Check for a PS5 system software update. Go to Settings > System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software. Always keep the PS5 firmware updated.

Sony releases firmware updates that fix compatibility issues causing game crashes on specific titles.
Delete and reinstall the game. On the home screen, highlight the game, press Options, and select Delete. Then re-download it from your library. This replaces any corrupted installation files.

Your saved game data is stored separately and will not be deleted when you remove and reinstall the game.
Check the PS5's temperature. Make sure the console has at least 4 inches of clearance on all sides. Clean the vents with compressed air if they are dusty. An overheating PS5 will crash games to protect its hardware.

The PS5 runs hot by design — some heat from the top vents is normal. But if the console is hot to the touch on the sides or bottom, ventilation is the issue.
If the crash happens in multiple games, restore the PS5's database. Enter Safe Mode by holding the power button for 7 seconds. Select 'Clear Cache and Rebuild Database.' This fixes many software-level crash issues.

Clearing the cache and rebuilding the database is safe and does not delete your games or saves.

When to Call a Professional

CE-107880-0 almost never requires professional service. It is a software crash. If the PS5 consistently crashes across all games and apps, the system software may need to be reinstalled. Hardware issues (overheating, SSD failure) are possible but less common.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does only one specific game crash with CE-107880-0?

Game crashes are almost always game-specific bugs. The developer released an update that has a bug affecting certain hardware configurations or game scenarios. The fix is usually a game patch from the developer. Check the game's official support page or forums to see if others are experiencing the same crash and whether a fix is in progress.

Could my PS5 SSD be failing and causing crashes?

SSD failure causing crashes is possible but less common than software bugs. Signs of SSD issues include crashes happening across many different games, games loading slowly or not loading at all, and error messages about data being corrupted. If you suspect SSD issues, rebuilding the database in Safe Mode is the first diagnostic step.

Is CE-107880-0 the same as CE-34878-0 (PS4 app crash error)?

They are the PS5 and PS4 equivalents of the same type of error. CE-34878-0 is the PS4 version (application crashed). CE-107880-0 is used on the PS5 for similar game or app crash events. Both indicate the same basic thing: a game or app quit unexpectedly.
