User Profiles Not Being Saved To PS5

Are you asking the question how come my PS5 won’t save my account? Well in this guide, we will be taking a look at why your PS5 account disappeared and did not save.

You may have just booted up your PlayStation 5 for the first time and perhaps gone to add a new profile from the login screen. You then go through the setup wizard to discover that when you log out or restart your Playstation 5, the user account has been removed from your PS5.

Another thing that can happen is if you have been playing a game on your PS5, you might then receive a message saying “your data will be deleted from this console when you log out“, and the reason for this is the same as the profile not being saved.

Don’t panic because there is a reason why the user profile is not being saved to your Playstation 5 console.

Why Aren’t My User Profiles Being Saved On My PS5?

The reason why your User account is not being saved to your Playstation 5 and is being removed is that you are most probably adding the user profile as a Guest.

A Guest account is a one-time guest sign-in, which is ideal if you have a friend or family member that you allow on your PS5 as a one-off. It will then remove their account once they log off.

Make sure you select the correct button to add a user profile to your PS5 permanently from the login screen.

The button you need to enter is “Get Started” under “Add a User to this PS5” (see the image below).

You do not want to be on the screen shown in the picture below. If you click on Sign in or Quick Play underneath “Play as a One-Time Guest” by mistake, then the account will be gone the next time you turn on your PS5 console, which would explain why your PS5 keeps deleting your account.

Play as a guest screen on PS5

That’s how you can add a PlayStation 5 user profile that will not get removed and you will no longer have the question “why didn’t my PS5 user save?”.

If you do have friends or family over and want to give them one-time access then that’s when you would do the “Play as a One-Time Guest”.
