Spotify on PS4 Buggy Issue (w/Quickfix)

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4 Pro
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug It disables Spotify Music app due to "Blocked Scene" activating, it's the freaking title screen -_- what is special about it?! PS4 keeps blocking Spotify because the game is telling the console that it "cannot use Spotify because the current scene is a blocked scene."
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It's activated because of the "blocked scene y'all integrated into BF2042 in the menus. It causes Spotify music app not to function randomly and gets disabled because It's always a "blocked scene." Try to turn Spotify on after a game or after the splash title screen.
What happens when the bug occurs? I cannot enable Spotify on the Playstation even if there's no "Blocked Scene" Quickfix: Turn on Spotify music app before opening BF2042 or go directly to app and it'll "suspend" BF2042, play music and go back to game.
What should be happening instead? I should be able to enable Spotify in the Quick Menu of PS4.

want to listen to music but the game glitches out, luckily there's a workaround but this is annoying with the "blocked Scene" issue.

  • Hello EA Community,

    The Spotify app on PS4 often runs into a frustrating issue where it stops working due to the console detecting a "blocked scene"—even during something as basic as a title screen! This happens because certain games mistakenly flag scenes as restricted, preventing Spotify playback. A quick fix is to open the game, then press the PS button to go back to the home menu and relaunch Spotify from there. This usually resets the error. If the problem persists, ensure both the PS4 and Spotify app are fully updated. Give this method a try—it’s often the simplest way to regain your music without unnecessary hassle.

    Best Regards!!
