Containment won't start after the Eye of Magnus explodes (PlayStation)

College of WinterholdQuest-breakingWorkaround

What happens

After the Arch-Mage dies you may not get the quest, and no group of mages gathers around him.

PS5-safe fix

UESP's PlayStation-specific tip: complete all active Winterhold-related quests, including miscellaneous ones, to get it to start. Or load a save several stages before the Eye of Magnus explodes.

Always make a hard save before trying a fix.
