PS5 Completely Shuts Off Only When Playing Battlefield 6. NOT overheating
I need to bring attention to a serious issue happening with Battlefield 6 on PS5.
My PS5 completely shuts down while playing BF6 — not a crash to dashboard, not an error message — a full system power off. I have to unplug and restart the console.
Let me be very clear:
This ONLY happens with Battlefield 6
I have zero issues with any other game
My PS5 is not overheating
My PS5 is not defective
I’ve taken every troubleshooting step possible:
Cleaned the console thoroughly
Cleared cache
Rebuilt database
Uninstalled the HD texture packs
Turned off chromatic aberration
Turned off motion blur
Turned off vignette
I even lowered visual settings specifically to reduce load on the console, and it STILL shuts off.
Again — I have no crashes, shutdowns, or instability in any other game. This is isolated to Battlefield 6.
This is not a hardware issue. This is not dust buildup. This is not user error.
This is a Battlefield 6 problem.
The developers seriously need to investigate this immediately because a game should never be hard-shutting a console like this. There are clearly stability or optimization issues happening here on PS5.
If anyone else is experiencing this, please comment so this gets visibility.
