Dispatch Episodes 5 & 6 not working? Here’s what you need to do

Dispatch is only getting more enthralling as new Episodes are released, giving you yet more choices to make and hopefully avoiding any conversation pitfalls you can’t come back from.

However, if you’re all set for Dispatch Episode 5 & 6, waited until the release time for the new content, and still can’t get access to it, you’re not alone.

There’s a trick to get the new Episodes unlocked, and it’s potentially a simple but necessary one, so let’s get into what you can do.

How to access Dispatch Episodes 5 & 6

If you’re one of the many who are eagerly awaiting the next Dispatch Episodes but cannot access them, even though the game is installed and believed to be ready to go, there is one teeny tiny reason why they’re not available.

This is likely due to either your Steam client or PS5 not automatically downloading Episodes 5 & 6, meaning you will have to force the issue yourself.

It was an issue that plagued Episodes 3 & 4 also, with the main remedy for this being to completely quit out of the game if it’s running, restart Steam/your PS5, and the download should begin.

If the download doesn’t automatically start after this, just hit the button yourself on your respective platform.

Similar to that of Episodes 3 & 4, the download is coming in at around 4 GB, so ensure that you’ve got that ethernet plugged in to get to those difficult to navigate in-game convos as soon as possible.

Once all is downloaded, installed, and ready to open, there should be no further issues from this point accessing Dispatch Episodes 5 & 6. However, if there is, the problem could be a little deeper rooted, potentially down to corrupted files. If this is the case, just do a reinstall.

With all of this in mind, you can now enjoy stepping into the boots of a superhero dispatcher once more and avoid this access issue for future Episode releases.
