Ps5 issue. Bought the game a week ago. No issues. Just a few stutters when big wars happen but nothing jarring. Now i cant play a single match without total game frame freezing. It only happens when fights are occurring on the map. As long as i dont get into a fight i can collect resources, open up the map with a scout, say hi to any friendly neighbors, and level up my base. But the moment a fight initiates game freezes for 5 to 15 secs, then starts ans continues to freeze and go all through out battle. The moment i stop fighting and start rebuilding all is good again.
It only happens when any troop starts attacking bases or enemy troops.
Im on ps5 . Everything is updated on my end and this is the only rts i have right now thats doing this. Not even sudden strike was doing this.
Ps i deleted all the extra saves. I turned off save gameplay videos. I have been playing on performances mode since the beginning because who ever tested the game before release surely didnt test quality mode. It runs like dog water.
Did you try: enter into safe mode on the ps5 > rebuild database? That fixed it for me
Kinda sad that this has to be a work around…i wonder why microsoft allowed this faulty programing out the gate. They need to fix this because i know my friend who i got to buy this game to is not going to want to do what i just did if it starts happening to him too. He is the type of guy that hates troubleshooting. If its broke its not worth playing again. Its annoying and they call me stubborn. But thank you because i do love me some age of mythology. Such nostalgia cant wait till expansion 2
So it worked?
And yeah I agree, it should’ve worked out the gate
Hi @Karnage4Glory. Update 18.27100 released earlier this week and included multiple PlayStation 5 stability and performance improvements. If you haven’t updated yet, I encourage you to download it.
Age of Mythology: Retold Update 18.27100 - Age of Empires - World’s Edge Studio
If there’s still issues after updating, then it would be very helpful to share a video of the freezing with our Support team. This will help the team continue investigating.

Hey so i did what people told me and it helped for a while. The update was fine. However as of today it started happening again. It usually happens the moment a clash is about to happen.
My friends are also having the same thing happen in their game just before an army clash but will unfreeze for them on occasions. Im not able to send a video at them moment. But we can be resource farming no problem, but the moment my army fights another. Insta freeze.
