If you are getting error code CE-34878-0 on your PS4 when playing Spider-Man Miles Morales, below are the solutions that you can try.
Install updates.
One of the simplest yet effective ways to avoid hassles in gaming is to ensure that you install updates.

So, before you load the game again after it crashed, make sure that you check for game and system updates.

Games and apps may sometimes crash, fail to launch, or perform poorly if your PS4’s system cache is corrupted. To ensure that you purge the system cache and force the console to build a new one, follow these steps:
- Turn off the PS4 normally using the Power button or the controller.
- Unplug the power cable from the power source (outlet or power strip).
- Wait for 30 seconds.
- Start the console back up and check for the problem.
Repair PS4 database.
For those who may have issues with corrupted game files, there are two things that you can do. One is to delete your game data locally (be sure that you create a back up in the cloud before doing this) and the other is by rebuilding your PS4 database.

Because console games are already pre-optimized, which means that the developer has already adjusted the settings to allow smooth operation for a particular console, there’s nothing much that users can do in terms of tweaks or adjustments.
