Nice to meet you, *****!
Can you try to turn it off, unplug it, wait for like 30 seconds and turn it on again?

Yeah I’ve done that and it’s the same still

Can you do anything with the screen? Like open the settings or leave the game?

Noted, thank you!
Press and hold the power button on the console for at least 10 seconds. Your console will reboot.
