Final Fantasy 16 Is Overheating and Crashing PS5 Consoles Completely
The article's title is slightly misleading in that the overheating and crashing is happening in graphics mode

So knowing the game is obviously important for this kind of stuff to avoid it if it does damage, but I never like the messaging. It's not a game's fault if the hardware/OS allow it to break your hardware, whether it also is flawed or just demanding. It's always entirely the fault of the hardware/firmware/OS for having flaws that can break your stuff.
Weird, just finished the game in the graphics mode and my ps5 is sitting in an area within the media center and didnt have any issues.
If this is happening to you look up how to clean the inside of your ps5. The ps5 has a special place you can vacuum out the inside (which normally breaks electronics)
Source for this "special place?" Also the act of vacuuming alone is not what kills electronics, it's the static electricity their fans generate that could discharge into electronics and kill them. The safer method is compressed air, either by a limited-use can or an electric air compressor.
Sure thing; Sony shows it in the official teardown of the ps5.
Thanks. I've seen this video before but didn't notice this part.
Maybe they should let us turn off the absurdly overdone motion blur...
Oh the game is 1080p to 1440p in performance mode. Not exciting.
