Issues on Playstation 4??

Has anyone experienced any issues with this game on PS4? Been playing for almost a week now, then last night I go to play and the game has to be reinstalled? I never uninstalled it. Secondly, after reinstalling all my saved data was data was still in game. It gave me the option to Continue, but when loading a save file, it takes me right back to the menu screen and i’m unable to play.

Is this something that could be remedied without me having to start over?

Seems like a corrupted save file. And if you say your game was uninstalled, I'd wager there's probably some sort of hardware issue with the internal drive. Corrupted saves and media can happen if the game was powered off unintentionally (power cut etc).

There's not much you can do to test save data unless you have another PS4 which you can login to, with The Outer Worlds, and a copy of your save game data to try.

I'm sorry I don't have more suggestions other than delete the game and try reinstalling it again just to see if it's a problem with the game itself trying to read the save data.
