Ps5 overheating & poor optimization in fc 26

​I am reporting a severe, long-standing optimization issue in FC 26 (PS5) causing critical overheating and extreme fan noise, specifically in the Main Menu, Rush, and Career Mode.

​Numerous users have been complaining about this for months with zero response or fixes from the development team. It is a known community grievance.

​This is not a maintenance issue; it has persisted since my console was brand-new (1 month old).

​This only happens with FC 26. Other AAA titles run silently.

​"Kick-off" mode is stable, proving the overheating is caused by poor background resource management and uncapped FPS in the UI/Menus.

Stop ignoring the community. We need an urgent stability patch to prevent thermal damage to our consoles. This level of optimization is unacceptable for a AAA title.

    Yeah, it's same for me, as I noticed that it happens in the menus mostly in Fc26 only, other games works fine. Please EA, help to fix this.

    I agree. This game is killing Playstations, what a horrendous bug to have in the game that makes the fans go into overdrive and melt your ps5, I think we should all take action and organize a class action lawsuit against EA for failing to address this issue.
