Once your console finishes installing the game, switch back to your account, and check if you can download the updates.

Free up some space before downloading any DLC or game

Make sure you’ve got enough free space available on your console to install the DLC or game you’re interested in. Go to Storage, and delete all the apps and games that you haven’t used in a while before downloading the DLC or game.

As one gamer perfectly described the issueattempting to download something on PS5 when you don’t have enough space traps the game in purgatory“. When your console realizes there’s not enough free space to download the game, it sends the title to an empty download queue.
