If you’re a fan of physical game discs and you own a PS5 console, you may occasionally experience error code CE-107649-7. Rest assured, this is not a major issue and it shouldn’t ruin your gaming experience.
What is PS5 error code CE-107649-7?
As Sony explains, error CE-107649-7 indicates the game disc that you inserted into your PS5 console contains content that is different from the installed data. This means the disc might contain additional DLCs, or other type of in-game content that’s not available on the game version installed on your console.
How can I fix PS5 error CE-107649-7?
Reinstall the game
Sony says that if you have another disc for the same game, you should actually delete the game and all the apps related to that game. After you do that, restart your console, and reinstall the game using the disc.
To delete PS5 games and apps, navigate to Settings, select Storage, and go to Games and Apps. Then select Delete Content. Select the game or app you want to remove, and then hit the Delete button.
Update your game
Well, reinstalling a game takes quite a lot of time. That’s usually a last resort solution. I listed it on the first position simply because that’s the official solution from Sony.
However, I would personally try to update the game first. If you want to manually update your games, navigate to the Home screen, and select the game that triggered error CE-107649-7. Then, go to Options, and Check for updates.
The quickest way to make sure your games stay updated is to enable automatic game updates. To do that, you need to go to Settings, select Saved Data and then Game/App Settings. Go to Automatic Updates and select Turn on Auto-Download.
