3 days agoIf your console is overheating while playing, it will protect itself by shutting down. You can know it is definitely overheating if you have to unplug the power cable and reconnect it before restarting the PS5. I personally had this issue in the past and got a can of compressed air (held vertically so no liquid comes out) and blasted the dust/lint away from the fan and as far into the heatsinks as I could. If you are not comfortable with this, you could look into getting the console professionally cleaned.
