What is the PS4 freezing and why is the PS4 frozen?
The PS4 freezing or the PS4 lagging is one of the common issues that many electronic devices may run into. It generally behaves as your controller or your game pad gets stuck or lagged when you are playing games.
Why is my PS4 get frozen? Sony hasn’t stated about the exact cause of this problem. However, there are several possible causes that lead to the PS4 freezing problem.
Method 1: Update the application to fix the PS4 freezing
If the PS4 freezing occurs to one game or application, it’s very likely because the game/application crashed in your PS4. You can try to restart the PS4 and then the game to have a try, or you can try to update the game software to the latest version, which can help fix the bugs and install the patches for your game.
1. Restart the PS4 and the application
Follow the steps below to power cycle and restart your PS4 and the application:
1) Press and hold the PS button on your controller.
2) Turn off the PS4 with Turn Off PS4 and not Enter Rest Mode.
3) Make sure the light goes out on the console and then unplug its power cable and wait for 10 seconds.
4) Plug the power cable back in and then press the PS button on your controller to turn your PS4 back on.
5) Try to use your PS4 or play games to see if it works.
2. Update the game/application
If restarting the game doesn’t solve the problem, you can try to update the application and install the latest version in your PS4.
1) On the PS4 home screen, highlight the game/application that needs to update.
2) Press the Options button on your PS4 controller, then select Check for Update.

This problem can also be caused by the hardware issue. So you can try to troubleshoot the hardware and solve the problem.
1. Put your PS4 in an open space
The PS4 freezing issue can possibly because of overheating problem. If the PS4 doesn’t have enough space for the air to cool download the fan, it may be overheated and stuck in.
If that’s the case, you can try to put your PS4 in an open space to have more gas around it, so your PS4 is allowed to have a better air circulation. Additionally, you may need to regularly clean the dust on your PS4 to have it under maintenance.
