Community ManagerHi there. This means your console is overheating. If the vents are free from debris and the console is in a well-ventilated space, it would be good to open it up and clean it out. You should be able to find some instructions online for that.
Many people are reporting that when playing FC26 on the PS5 Slim, the fan runs very loud and the console gets hot, I’ve read in community groups that several people using the PS5 Slim are experiencing the same issue as well.
If it was only happening to me, I might think my console had a problem or the fan was dirty. But it’s not just me—many other PS5 Slim users are experiencing the same issue.
EA should be able to optimize it for the PS5 Slim.
I experience the same issue too and it only occurs with fC26....I have so many other intense graphics games too
Seriously? Seriously, the PS5 is overheating? Don't tell me? That's obvious! The problem is precisely that, and this problem is occurring with countless players, if not thousands, worldwide... there has to be an explanation and an immediate solution for a game as expensive as this to simply overheat, shut down the console, and become completely unplayable while other games run normally. Nobody's kidding here.
Community ManagerThere are millions of PS5s out there. It wouldn't be surprising to find out some are very dirty after years of use. The best I can advise is to make sure yours is as clean as can be. This may mean opening it up and cleaning out any internal debris.
I know this is the only option EA gives as an answer, but my PS5 came back from a Sony specialized technical assistance center completely clean and well cared for, and the problem persisted, only with this game. It's not at all difficult to find other reports of people who, even with a newly purchased console, can't play FC26 due to the same problem, while other games that demand more from the machine work smoothly. Total disregard from this company.
