I had the issue of over heating on FC24 and cleaned everything along with standing up/ lying down extra fan .....turning down the resolution, etc..
I bought FC25 today watched the first video with Zidane and then pressed start game it overheated within 10 seconds and turned off.
As this happens with no other games I can only presume and is a fresh game with no saves, history then it must be something that EA has not fixed despite knowing from feedback on the last 2 games.
I will have to switch to another football game despite loving FIFA/FC. It will be returned tomorrow and I hope that when EA get the message when millions of people return the game as unusable. If this game is causing overheating and damaging thousand of consoles or at the very least shortening the life of a PS5 through heat damage then what will they do ?
Overheating, it's in the game!
Just gonna bump this because lots of people continue to report it and EA won't acknowledge it. It's not my console, I'm a former electronics repair tech and I have thoroughly cleaned my console. It only happens with FC 25, and I have played many other AAA titles for hours on end with no issues.
If this happens to you, try cleaning your console. But if you're like most of us it won't help. Don't pull your hair out. You'll find threads about this in lots of places. It's just one more of the innumerable things that should work with this game but don't. Just try to remember that EA is a tiny indie developer, and that FC is a vanity project that barely struggles to break even. They cannot be expected to provide you with the basic functionality you paid for. They have points to sell and employees to lay off!
Will they fix this as as I really wanna play but it overheats and just shuts off
