Final Fantasy XVI is causing PS5 consoles to overheat

Still busy with Final Fantasy XVI? Then you can stop enough. Many players have reported that their PlayStation 5 is overheating due to the game. As a result, the console instantly shuts itself down to prevent internal damage.

Perhaps the game’s devastating and amazing battles are the culprit. Anyone who’s played the title knows that a lot happens on screen during an encounter like this. From gigantic creatures to detailed explosions and dynamically designed combat moves. Thanks to this dynamic, a console has to conjure up a lot of visual effects on your screen, even some consoles can’t handle.

Many players assume that it is also due to the graphical mode of Final Fantasy XVI. Unlike Performance mode, it displays all graphic details in the highest possible resolution. Since everything is rendered smoothly, the console must also keep the frame rate to the standard. Thus, players conclude that the graphics mode is the culprit.

Something others are saying isn’t true, because here and there players are also reporting sporadic crashes in Performance mode. Thus, it is not clear at the moment why the accidents occurred. After all, without an official announcement from Square Enix, it’s guesswork. Hopefully, the publisher is actually looking for the problem.

Another possibility is for users to put their PS5 in a room so close together that the console doesn’t get enough ventilation. Make sure there is enough space around your PS5 for the console to vent properly. So it is not recommended to put the PlayStation 5 in a cramped TV cabinet.
