If you're playing on the PlayStation 4 and have encountered an error message that reads CE-34878-0, you've come to the right place!

CE-34878-0 is actually code for "a general error has occurred" and doesn't tell us anything specific about the problem. The good news is that in most cases, you'll be able to restart the game and continue where you left off without any further issues. It was just a random error.
