How to fix PS5 CE-108862-5 Error Code

• Check the PSN status page to see if the server is working properly or if there is no maintenance going on. 
• Check the game server at the developer's game website to see if the server is working properly or if there is no maintenance going on.  
• Turn off your PlayStation 5, and after 5 minutes, restart it.
• If possible, connect to the internet using a wired connection and configure the network settings again.
• If using a wireless connection, make sure that the PS5 is as close as possible to your router and remove anything that could possibly interrupt the connection between the devices. 
• Turn off your router & modem, wait at least around 10 minutes, then restart it.  
• Update the firmware of your router. For more information about this, you should contact your router vendor.
• Try opening these ports. TCP: 80, 443, 3478, 3479, 3480 and UDP: 3478, 3479, 49152 to 65535.
  For help with port opening and router settings, you should contact your ISP (Internet service provider).  
• Go to the network settings and set up a static IP address manually. It could be improved by changing DNS settings temporarily.
• Go to DNS settings in the Network Settings, and configure your network settings with the number of a public DNS that is free and open to the public by companies or organisations.

If none of the above-listed solutions fixes your problem, it is possible that the server is temporarily busy, try leaving it for some time and come back later.
