The ps4 isnt hot when it shuts down saying overheated.

    Have you tried playing the game with it plugged into a different outlet in the house to rule out the possibility of it being electrical related? You can upload a video on here if you have enough XP. If not, a link to a YouTube video is acceptable.

        Is the console actually hot when you play it? Do you have the PS4 on the side or upright?
