I bought the game today on PS5 and am having exactly the same issue. Played first hour now stuck on the ship saying needs patch. All seems installed so I fully uninstalled the game and reinstalled and still have the same stuck issue? Whats the fix for this?
How I fixed this issue..
I tried everything from resetting the licences to restoring data on PS5 and reinstalling and nothing worked.
Finally I gave up and the following which fixed the issue..
Turn of ps5
Hold on button until you get two beeps
you will then see like a PS5 version of Safe Mode.
I selected Option 7 "Reset PS5"
This reset my PS5 to factory defaults
Logged back into the PS5
Reinstalled the game and finally it worked.
Hope this helps someone.
