Death Stranding 2 Triggers Overheating on Some PS5 Consoles

Players report PS5 overheating linked to Death Stranding 2's map screen usage.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is winning praise for its incredible visuals and vast Australian vistas, but it’s not all smooth sailing for some players. Several PS5 owners have noticed their consoles running hot, and not in a good way, when pulling up the game’s map screen.

Reports have surfaced on Reddit and other forums highlighting how the base model PS5’s fan ramps up aggressively whenever the map is opened, sometimes even triggering an overheating warning. One user shared their experience: despite having no issues during regular gameplay sessions, the moment they pause and check the map, the fan noise spikes and the console heats up rapidly. They’ve ruled out blocked vents or dust buildup, so the problem appears to be directly tied to the game.

Interestingly, this doesn’t appear to affect the PS5 Pro as much, suggesting the hardware revision might handle the load better. Of course, recent warm weather in parts of Europe and the US might be nudging already hot consoles over the edge, but the timing with the map screen use is suspicious. Some speculate that an unlocked frame rate or a memory leak in the menu could be causing the system to strain unnecessarily.

Despite a recent patch, players say the problem persists. One practical suggestion is to send a detailed bug report to Kojima Productions, so they can get a clearer picture and patch the issue swiftly. If you’re running the game on a base PS5, keep an eye (and ear) on your fans when you open the map.

Are you seeing your PS5 heat up during Death Stranding 2? Or is your console handling the game like a champ? Drop your experience in the comments below; it’d be great to know how widespread this is.
