Be careful, as players report Final Fantasy 16 is overheating their PS5s

be careful while playing final fantasy 16as a particular moment in the game seems to be shutting down the PS5s due to overheating.

Obviously, Final Fantasy 16 is a pretty visually intense game, so it’s not a huge surprise to hear that it might be pushing the PS5 a bit in places, especially considering that this is Square Enix’s first big game on the platform made. just for him. Now how did you see it push square, gamers are reporting that their PS5s are overheating due to a particular scene. Twitter user Adrian Liew shared a screenshot of the scene in question (you can see his tweet below), so you can prepare for the possibility of your PS5 powering down.

Other players have reported similar issues in the final fantasy subreddit, with numerous players noting that they are in graphical mode specifically. As with many graphics modes, the priority is graphical fidelity over smooth performance and stable frame rates. That’s not necessarily what’s causing the problem though, as some who have played in performance mode have also found their consoles to crash on the scene in question.

One tip I’ve seen shared is to dust your PS5, as that could increase the overheating issue. Another Twitter user, Alisson Pinhoshared that they were dealing with the issue, but noticed that their PS5 wasn’t full of dust and was in a well-ventilated area, so clearly the issue isn’t just limited to consoles that need a bit of cleaning.

While the game seems to be causing some problems for people, those who manage to get past that scene will find a good game beyond it, one that has great action combat and a solid story, albeit with poor pacing and weak RPG systems, as noted. in our Final Fantasy 16 review.
