Deathloop, died while saving unable to stop

I experienced this bug on 1/27 about 10pm MST (I dont have a game ver for you so date/time suffices I hope). 
Difficulty: Hard
Console: PS5 w/ disc

Tech Proficiency: High

I'm making my way through the Hydroponics lab, I kill weezer #5. There's a small room in the back of the lab, floor 1, with a save station. A lurker spawns and starts shooting at me. It kills me, seemingly just as an autosave goes off. The game reloads, I die immediately. The game reloads again, I'm spamming the options button. I'm not able to get at a options menu, I die immediately. Now I'm stuck in this loop. I completely close the game via the PS5 Switcher, reload it. As the Electronic Arts logo flashes on the screen, I hear the "flatline sound", kicks to Isaac immediately dying, load screen. I close again via the Switcher, reload the game, and spam the options button. I am stuck forever in this deathloop.

The only way I can find to play my game is to delete my save files. This is catastrophic on PS5 because I can't select the individual saves to delete. The only option I have is to delete all Dead Space data. I'm going to have to delete everything to even be able to play the game. Starting over from scratch because the games fantastic but my goodness this problem is *bad*. 

Here are some youtube videos of similar things happening:

Thanks for your help guys, best of luck piecing through this.

  • Still broken, stuck in a death loop on PS5, controller workaround not working, however masking down and X gets me to menu but auto loads save, menu closes automatically if I stop mashing X or select setting within the second the menu is shown after the content warning screen, making it near impossible to select another save, please fix this.

    It is literally shocking to me that there’s still no fix or any update from EA regarding this.  I EVENTUALLY STARTED A NEW GAME GOT PRETTY FAR PAST WHERE I WAS AND IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN FRUSTRATED I LET IT SIT FOR ANOTHER FEW DAYS AND START A NEW GAME FOR THE THIRD TIME I USED. I USED THE STORY MODE TO MAKE IT PROGRESS EASIER BUT STILL HAVING TO START A GAME OVER THREE TIMES IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT WAS SO ANTICIPATED.
