Whenever I go to load up Minecraft on my PS4, I can't get past that first red loading screen. I’ve had a similar glitch where I'm stuck in the second loading screen with all the bars, but that problem I could wait it out after maybe half an hour, but with this I've waited more than two hours and have gotten nowhere.

I never close the Minecraft app on my PS4 (it's the only thing I currently play), so I rarely have to load the game, meaning this glitch could have gone unnoticed by me for sometime and could be an older glitch.

Though I don't know how old this glitch is, I only noticed it after update 1.16.100, and this update may have caused it.
