A few Final Fantasy 16 gamers have recently complained that their PS5s were overheating while playing boss fights in the newly released Square Enix RPG. Final Fantasy 16 has many excellent boss fights, so this is a pretty bad issue for fans who were eager to play the new title and are now afraid that their consoles may get too hot during the most intensive parts of the gameplay.Final Fantasy 16 was one of the most eagerly awaited RPGs of 2023. Ever since the release of Final Fantasy 15 in 2016, most gamers were pretty curious to see what the next installment of the franchise would be, as it promised to have a very dark story and gameplay that would be more focused on action than previous installments. The result is that Final Fantasy 16 looks nothing like FF15, and this is pretty good news for fans who were eager to try out a completely different experience. Soon after the launch, however, many gamers started to notice that their PS5s were overheating during the most intense fights in Final Fantasy 16. It’s not hard to find examples of unhappy players on social media. ItsMajesticMe, for instance, affirmed that they had their console since January 2021 and always clean it. They never had a single problem with overheating before trying out Square Enix’s latest release, but received warnings about the dangerous problem when playing. UrAverageJoe had quite a similar story, as their PS5 turned off randomly while playing the game. According to them, they didn’t even get a notice that the console was overheating before it shut down.
