Hi 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.
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.

There 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.
