This guide will show you what to do if you encounter PS4 disc reading problems after installing a recent PS4 update. A recent PS4 update introduced an issue with reading PS4 games when the console wakes up from rest, but there’s an easy fix.
PS4 updates come in occasionally, and the latest one isn’t a major update, but it contains a major bug for some users. Earlier in July, a PS4 update to 2.55 arrived as a free download for PS4 owners. Many users are already using this software, thanks to its auto-update features that install the update when the console is not in use.

Sony lists the new PS4 2.55 Update features as “System software stability has been improved while using some features,” but there is one more change added with the upgrade.
How to fix PS4 disc read issues in PS4 2.55 update in minutes.
If your PS4 isn’t reading when you insert a new disc, you’re not alone. This is an increasingly common problem on PS4 at 2.55. This seems to only affect new disks, as disks you’ve already installed work fine for most users.

I tried a different disc, it would read.”
Fanboy’s Attack also reports this issue and notes that after rebooting the PS4 will beep three times. This is usually a sign that something is wrong with your PS4, but in this case, the game is installed and ready to go.
One of the most common causes of PS4 disc read errors in the 2.55 update is pressing the eject button to wake the PS4. Some users are reporting this issue even without pressing the eject button. When you press the eject button to wake it on PS4 2.55 the disc may not actually eject, but you won’t be able to load the game.
To fix PS4 disc read problems on PS4 Update 2.55, you need to restart your PS4 completely. Don’t just put the PS4 to sleep. Instead choose to turn it off completely, wait a minute, and then turn it back on. This should fix PS4 disc read errors.
Some users are also seeing PS4 ejection issues when there is no disc inserted or when the PS4 is trying to retrieve a disc that comes out apparently randomly. Use this guide to fix PS4 Eject Issues.
We will have to wait for PS4 Update 2.56 or higher for this PS4 issue to be fully fixed. While annoying, this PS4 issue won’t break your console by the way.
