Why is my game shutting off by itself?
Anytime I play certain games in the middle of me playing it cuts off completely.
Is this a good question?

Hi @franklincabness. Lore here.
There could be several reasons why your PlayStation 5 (2021 revision) is shutting off during gameplay. Overheating and power problems are the most likely culprits. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check for overheating: If your PS5 is shutting down mid-game, particularly when playing more intensive AAA games, it’s likely overheating caused by dust build-up. Try cleaning the console and ensure that it is well-ventilated.
- Update your firmware: Ensure that your PS5 is running the latest firmware version. You can check for updates by going to Settings > System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software.
- Disable Rest Mode and/or HDMI Link: If other issues have been ruled out, try disabling Rest Mode and/or HDMI Link.
If the issue persists, you may need to contact PlayStation support for further assistance. I hope this helps!
