Overview

  • Community posts on Reddit and a YouTube demonstration show base PS5 consoles overheating when the in-game map menu is accessed.
  • The issue appears to stem from the map interface running at an unlocked frame rate, driving system fans into overdrive and prompting overheat warnings.
  • PS5 Pro owners have not encountered the overheating problem, indicating it is confined to original PS5 hardware.
  • Early attempts to address the glitch with a game update appear to have had no effect, according to community posts cited by PushSquare.
  • Kojima Productions has not yet released an official fix, and players are awaiting a patch to resolve the thermal bug.
