Overheating PS5
-
Yes, the strike zone, and strike zone 2 cameras worked! Not used to it at all but at least I can play a full game without the fan even getting remotely loud. Thank you so much for your help and I hope a patch comes out real soon for it!
-
Same thing happened to me. I placed it horizontally and it’s not happening anymore.
-
@Onelemur1_PSN That's great I'm glad it helped. Hopefully they fix it fast before launch but in the meantime maybe this will help more people.
-
Had the same thing happen to me, set my PS5 horizontal and haven't seen it happen yet. Also had a friend who had his PS5 overheat. This does not happen on any other game, also for both me and my friend it only happened during online games
-
The people sitting behind home plate (visible when using a pitching camera) are causing (at least one of) the heating issues. You can hear the PS5 fans spinning up to max whenever these people are on screen.
This does not occur when using a pitching camera in practice mode (no people in stands) and it doesn't occur if you select a catcher/hitting camera for both hitting and pitching. It occurs less in stadiums where the people are less visible (e.g. a higher wall behind home plate)
To reproduce the issue, simply play a game using a pitching camera that allows the people behind home plate to be visible, and listen to the PS5 fans. They spin up like the system is gonna launch into orbit. Something about these people and/or their animations is unoptimized, so hopefully this gets fixed
-
I too encountered this issue and it freaked me out. I'm glad I checked the forum to see that I wasn't alone.
Hopefully whatever the issue is will be fixed soon. -
Have you changed camera to strikezone 2 or 3? Did it solve the issue?
-
So, I just wanted to state in here, that I did change the camera to strike zone 2. However, after the update, I did attempt to use pitcher camera, and there is still an issue. As noted above I have cleaned my PS5. I’m hoping that there is an update to fix the issue with the camera, as I can’t use my favorite camera to pitch. Also putting this here so that way other people or just got the game via global release can also use this thread in case they have the same issue.

@jake98833_PSN
I am having the same exact issue, I’ve tried pretty much everything I’ve seen online to try to fix this issue and nothing has worked, I also haven’t had this issue before this game. -
I still have not had one single overheating issue since I changed my pitching camera. Pretty sad they still haven't fixed the issue though. Take your time SDS it's not like it's destroying people's property or anything. You'd think maybe they'd at least have the brains to remove the camera angle for a few days until they fix the issue but nope. And no surprise it's been happening to alot more people. SDS hasn't acknowledged it yet that I'm aware of (probably because of the implications) but they definitely know about it because apparently it happened to a dev live on stream. It goes beyond incompetence at this point, it's more like negligence.
I guess the pitching camera work around has not been working for everyone though so if you are one of those people I would encourage you to just not even risk playing the game until they acknowledge and fix it. A broken game is better than a broken ps5.
-
I get about 4 innings into a game and my PS5 just shuts down. I played the show24 and no issues. Played a couple other games with no issues. Tried the show 25 again and it crashed again.
-
Another workaround I seemed to have found for now is making a custom broadcast pitching camera where you just take a broadcast cam and zoom it all the way out.
Tho there are also a few cutscenes that cause this issue. It doesn't seem to be the fans, it seems to be an issue caused during close-ups of players.
Yet for some reason the C camera isn't effected by it.
