Mine was heating up too, you just need to open it up and clean the dust out, it's very simple, lots of videos on it.

Thanks for the heads up. Appreciate the info. I'm a Giants fan also

yes mate whatever OP has as a problem here its based on either a dirty floor or cramped air ventilation
cleanliness is next to godliness when it comes to tech in general

Yeah I wouldn't disagree with that. It's just odd though cus I've played several other games since this post and it hasn't done the same thing that that one game is doing (MLB The Show 23).

do you have disc or digital and is The Show disc or digital? Yeah that does seem odd that The Show would be the only game to cause that... do you play the show longer stretches than other games?

1. I have a digital PS5 so yeah it's mainly the digital version that I play.

2. I play other games typically longer than 2 hours which is generally how long MLB 23 The Show would last before getting to the point where the fan would speed up and show the on screen warning so to answer your question, no I don't play it long in comparison to the others cus I can't. I can play other games for as long as I want without issue.

Update: I took it in to the shop to have a cleaning for around 50 bucks cus I didn't feel comfortable unscrewing everything on my own and after cleaning it out they said it didn't seem very dirty at all when they initially cleaned it but I brought it back and sure enough that indeed fixed the described issues, though it still gets fairly hot while playing The Show.

I feel a lot more comfortable now though. Still strange that I experienced this with only that game however.
