Heating problem fc 25

Hey everyone,

I’m facing a serious problem with FC 25 on my PS5. About 10 minutes into matches, I get a “system overheated” warning, hear two beeps, and then the whole console powers off to protect itself. No other game causes this—titles like GT7, Spider-Man 2, and even more demanding games run for hours without any problem. This only happens with FC 25.

What I’ve already done:

• Full system and fan clean, including vent area and power supply 
• Reset and rebuilt the database in Safe Mode
• Played in a well-ventilated, cool room—PS5 is not in a cabinet or tight space 
• All system software and game updates installed
• Tried both the PS5 and PS4 versions of the game

The console is in great shape, and other games never make it run hot. Forum threads and Reddit posts suggest this is a known issue affecting only FC 25 for some users, but there’s been no official fix yet .

Anyone else had this? Is there an EA fix or patch in progress? Starting to worry about hardware damage and want to keep enjoying the game safely. Any dev help or proven workarounds would be appreciated!

Thanks for reading—really hope for some answers or updates!
