Death Stranding 2 Map Screen Overheating PS5 Consoles – A Developing Story
World-Today-News.com – June 29, 2025 – A growing number of Death Stranding 2 players are reporting significant overheating issues with their PlayStation 5 consoles, and surprisingly, the culprit isn’t the game’s graphics, but its detailed map screen.
Reports flooding online forums indicate that opening the in-game map causes PS5s to rapidly heat up, triggering warning messages and, in certain specific cases, automatic shutdowns.Players describe the consoles becoming uncomfortably hot to the touch before powering off.
The issue appears to disproportionately affect owners of the standard PS5 and the Slim model,though some users with the PS5 Pro are also experiencing the problem.Experts speculate the detailed map screen may be pushing the console’s graphics processing unit (GPU) to its absolute limit, resulting in the excessive heat generation.
While a recent update from Kojima Productions reportedly offered some advancement, the issue hasn’t been fully resolved. The situation is evolving, and World-Today-News.com will continue to monitor reports and provide updates as they become available.
Stay tuned for further developments.
