Black Ops 6 could not fetch playerstats error on PS5

Quick answer: Check Activision and PlayStation service status, update Black Ops 6, confirm the Multiplayer content pack is installed, restore PlayStation licenses, and only then test a manual DNS setting.

Before you start

  • Keep your Activision and PlayStation sign-in details available.
  • Make sure the PS5 has enough free storage for a content-pack reinstall.
  • Do not delete saved data; these steps concern installed content and licenses.

How to fix it

  1. Check both services. Confirm Activision Online Services and PlayStation Network are operational. Wait if either service reports maintenance.
  2. Close and update the game. Highlight Call of Duty, press Options, select Check for Update, and install everything offered.
  3. Inspect installed content. Press Options on the game tile and open Manage Game Content. Confirm the Black Ops 6 Multiplayer pack is installed. If it appears damaged or incomplete, remove only that pack and reinstall it.
  4. Restore licenses. Open Settings > Users and Accounts > Other > Restore Licenses, choose the affected content, and complete the restore.
  5. Restart the PS5 and router. Fully restart both, then test multiplayer.
  6. Optional DNS test. In the active network’s advanced settings, try Cloudflare DNS 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. Revert to Automatic if it does not help.

Why this can work

The error appears while the game is requesting online profile data. A missing multiplayer pack, stale content license, service interruption, or failed name lookup can break that request. The order above starts with nondestructive checks and avoids redownloading the whole game unless a specific pack needs replacement.

Other safe fixes to try

  • Sign out of the Activision account in-game, restart, and sign back in only if credentials are known.
  • Test a wired connection.
  • Clear PS5 system cache in Safe Mode if official guidance recommends it for persistent launch problems.

Warnings and how to undo the change

Restoring licenses does not delete saves. Removing a content pack does require a large download. Manual DNS is an unofficial, reversible workaround; return the network’s DNS setting to Automatic to undo it. Do not unlink platform accounts casually because relinking restrictions can apply.

Frequently asked questions

Does “connection interrupted by user” mean I canceled it?

Not necessarily. It can be a generic failure while the game fetches profile data.

Should I reinstall all of Call of Duty?

No. Check the Multiplayer pack first.

Will restoring licenses remove game sharing?

No. It refreshes local entitlement data; it does not change the account owner.
