You have to finish watching the cut scene. You’ll go through a character selection screen, then your character will be about to be executed, when a dragon shows up and saves you.
Pick whether you want to join the imperial legion or the rebels and go with one of the two guys who saves you. What follows is a pretty quick and easy dungeon crawl that serves as a tutorial.
Then you’ll want to go to the first town, but on your way, you might want to stop by a small mine with a few enemies on the side of the road for some gear and some easy ore to mine.
Eventually you’ll talk to the Jarl of the regional big city (Whiterun) and he’ll have you basically go on a quest to retrieve a golden claw or something like that from another dungeon. In that dungeon, there’s a some zombies and then a big spider but it’s not too hard overall.
When you’re done with that and get your rewards, you’ll kill a dragon, learn your first shout, and the game will open up a bit. Make your way toward Riften, a city across the map. (You’ll probably want to hire the carriage outside Whiterun as otherwise it’s a long trek by foot and you probably won’t be able to afford a horse yet.)
Ask around Riften about the thieves guild, you’ll eventually find them in the sewers. Do the opening quests and get your thieves guild armor.
Then, head back to Whiterun and start grinding your pickpocketing skill. You can savescum if you need to in order to pickpocket hard to get jewels, etc, but get your pickpocket level as high as possible. Do the same for your lock pick skill.
Finally, go to Belethor‘s shop but don’t buy anything. Just wait, then follow Belethor home after he closes shop.
Pick the lock and sneak into his house after he goes in but don’t let him see you. Eventually, you’ll hear him start cursing under his breath a lot in the other room.
Sneak behind him into the room and you’ll see that he just bought Elden Ring for PS5 but doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing so he’s just fighting with the first boss on a horse in limgrave and dying over and over again.
Before he goes to bed, pickpocket the game from him (it’s weird, he has the game equipped on his way to bed). Then once you have it, you should be able to stick it into his PS5 after he goes to sleep and boot back into the game. You might need to create a new character and go through the tutorial again to get to Limgrave though.
