If your PS5 is overheating, it can be frustrating, but there are a few things you can do before sending it in for repairs. There are a few reasons your console might be overheating: Is it in a small space? Is the area dusty, or is its positioning restricting airflow?
This will cause your PS5 to overheat
You'll know your PS5 is overheating if your fan gets too loud, your game starts to stutter, exhibits graphical issues, or shuts down unexpectedly. Here are a few troubleshooting tips that can help you cool down your PlayStation 5 and keep it running smoothly.
If you’re keeping your PS5 in a small space, move it to a wider area to create some airflow. Check your fan and make sure it’s spinning properly or is spinning more slowly. Also, remove any other heat-generating items from the area.
It’s best not to store your PS5 in small cabinets or shelves with closed doors. If you live in a place where temperatures tend to be high, air conditioning may be necessary for your console.
