“Unable to connect to the server.”
This is another connection error message, but this time possibly relating to the servers for the individual game you are playing. If the PlayStation Network status page linked above confirms everything is currently working, then check the game developer’s website or social media channels to see if they have a specific issue. Again, it’s likely this is a temporary connection fault, so if you can’t resolve it then wait and try again later.

If there is no maintenance or downtime in progress, restart your PS5 and configure your wireless connection settings again, checking your router is in range or switching to a wired connection if possible. If the problem persists, turn off your modem and router for 5 minutes, then restart and update your router firmware if available. If the issue still isn’t resolved then it’s likely there’s a temporary connection fault, so wait and try again later.
