I've had my PS5 since launch and while my son has a larger claim to it now, it remains in heavy rotation after almost three years, but one major flaw has limited our PS5 gaming over the last few months: overheating.
This isn't entirely new, a little over a year in we first started to encounter issues with the PS5 randomly shutting off. It was always during more intensive PS5 games, so I was reasonably sure that overheating was to blame, and cleaning it out proved effective. That is until a few months ago when even our freshly cleaned PS5 would refuse to play PS5 games for more than 10-15 minutes. We were sticking to PS4 games, and while I appreciate the backward compatibility, it's not exactly what you have in mind for your cutting-edge console.
