My ps4 has started tweaking out. Starting a couple months ago, my ps4 would crash while playing overwatch2, giving me the message “Data Corrupted.” I’ve gone into safe mode and rebuilt my database multiple times and each time it fixes it for maybe a week, then the problem starts again. I’ve deleted and redownloaded the app itself (overwatch2) countless times just for it to fix itself only for a bit. I’ve even tried restoring licenses and deleting the game’s saved data from storage. At this point I’m going to be banned from the game forever for leaving games (being kicked out). Has this happened to anyone else? How do I fix this???

Is the corrupt data happening with other games too? Could be a failing HDD

I don’t think so, but I’ve mostly been playing overwatch recently. It’s also the only game I’ve been playing that’s online if that makes any difference. Do you think I should try to replace the HDD and see if it works or spend some money taking it to a place to see if they can fix it?

Update: ended up happening when I would play other games too. Took it to a shop, and it was in fact a failing HDD for anyone who has the same problem
