College Football 25 Causing PS5 To Overheat

Anytime I try to play an actual game, my PS5 start to give overheat warnings and then eventually shuts itself off.

I can navigate menus and sim Dynasty mode with no issues, but once I go into a game this happens every time.

This has never happened before, and I even made sure to clean it up real nice and still didn't fix the issue.

Is anyone else having this problem? I am extremely frustrated that I spent $100 on a game that I can't fully play. This has to be an issue with the game and I am at a loss for what to do here.

  • I took mine apart, cleaned it. Bought a mini fan that hooks directly to it, still shuts down. 

  • Same problem. Solved it by deleting game play data (found it somewhere in the PS5 settings). Lost all previous RTG and Dynasty, and had to start over, but it did solve the problem.

    I bought a small 3 fan usb unit and it fixed the problem. I also cleaned my Ps5 multiple times but only this usb unit fixed it for me.

  • I am having the same problem. I play ultimate team (Rush) for 10 to 15 minutes and my ps5 shut down cause of overheating. I just cleaned my ps5 for dust and is on a open place. Never had this iseu, exept fc25. Ea please do something about it. We pay enough for this game. 

  • Dear EA. 

    I play on ps5( gametag: Darkodyssey42) for 4, 5 hour a day on different games. Like fc 24, cod mw3, hogwarts legacy,  testdrive unlimited solar crown,  black myth wukong, ect

    I clean my ps5 reguraly from dust last time 2 weeks ago. With all other games i play with no problem.  Now i bought FC 25 ultimate edition a €110. And coins with money. I haved played a full match with ultimate team. (Rush, squad battle,  draft) with no warning my ps5 shut down after 10 to 15 minutes play. Every time i lose a game because of shutdown. I can't send a foto because of shutdown without warning. I also delete and reinstalled the game. I hope you can fix this asap.

    Your sincerely, 

    Darkodyssey42

    Yes

    No, it’s happening in every game mode 

    I’ve deleted the game twice, cleaned my ps5 inside out, I put a cooling fan behind it as well when I tried to play and nothing works.
