Can you fix the error code NP-37602-8?
As noted by our friends at GamesRadar, there is no fix for this specific issue at present, but there is still a way you can watch YouTube on your PS4. You can simply cast YouTube to your PS4 from a linked device on the same Wi-Fi network, like a phone or tablet. All you have to do is open the YouTube app, click the cast icon then select your PS4.
We’ve tested this solution and it indeed works as a temporary fix to the NP-37602-8 error code. Until a proper fix comes, that gives you the ability to watch YouTube on your TV through your account.
Which YouTube video did we watch to test this fix out, you ask? Well, it was this funky remix of Le Cassette’s Radio, because we never truly got over the synthwave movement.
