War in the North PS5 0KB Save Bug and Fixes

Several PS5 players report a 0KB save condition after hours of play. Suggested workarounds have produced mixed or failed results, so the safest current advice is prevention, evidence capture, and official escalation—not a promised repair.

Status: Community-reported; no verified universal fix was found on 2026-08-14.

What we know

• Reports mention later chapters or particular encounter transitions, but triggers are not consistent.
• Players with ample free storage have still reported the error.
• Reinstalling, database rebuilding, vendor saves, and deleting older saves are not consistently successful.

What to do now

1. Stop overwriting data when the warning appears and preserve any cloud copy from before the failure.
2. Record chapter, last successful save, storage state, and exact trigger.
3. Submit the case to Aspyr support and wait for a documented patch or recovery step.

Evidence boundary

Deleting saves is irreversible and may worsen recovery options. This site will not label anecdotal deletion routines as fixes.
