PS5 Palworld players started reporting a data loss bug and, while Pocketpair identified the problem and a fix, people who experienced the CE-100022-5 and CE-100096-6 errors will need to delete all save files due to corruption. An official fix that should keep this problem from happening going forward will release worldwide on July 10, 2025.
Pocketpair went into the cause of the issue in a social media announcement. The CE-100022-5 and CE-100096-6 errors would come up due to a bug caused by too many Palworld PS5 save files. It cited that causing a console system error. As a result, any kind of saves made when that would come up could be corrupted or lost. If someone didn’t see either of the two errors, they should be okay to continue using existing save files without issue. However, the company noted that anyone who did will have corrupted files that would need to be deleted so the problem doesn’t return. It also noted it can not help with save data repair or recovery.
It also shared the following two points from the 0.6.2 patch notes for the Palworld PS5 update that will stop the save files data loss and corruption bug. These two measures should keep instances from happening again so long as you also delete any possibly corrupted files.
• Limited the number of save data to a maximum of 10 on PS5.
• Improvements to the entire save system for stability.
※If you have more than 11 instances of save data on your console, these will not be automatically deleted.
The last major update to Palworld was Tides of Terraria. It added Pals and weapons from the other indie title to the game.
Palworld is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC in early access, and the data loss bug affecting PS5 save files will be fixed with the 0.6.2 patch on July 10, 2025.
