CAN'T BEAT THE HEAT PS5 owners warned consoles 'overheating' if you play popular game as console 'pushed to limits' & 'goes into overdrive'
PLAYSTATION 5 owners have been warned that a new game may be overheating their consoles.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which launched earlier this month, has been hyped up over the game's "stunning" graphics.

But the high-definition game is launching people's consoles into overdrive, players have reported on social media.
"I've been playing the game on a base PS5 and overall it runs great – the graphics are stunning and I've had no issues during regular gameplay," one player wrote on Reddit.
"But as soon as I pause the game and the map screen comes up, the fan suddenly goes into overdrive and I get an overheat warning.
"It's strange because everything else runs smoothly, even during long gameplay sessions.
"But the moment I bring up the map and start planning a route, the fan suddenly goes crazy and I get an overheating warning."
Consoles routinely overheat if they are kept in crowded spots, or are left to get dusty.
However, the overheating issue is even happening with well-ventilated and freshly cleaned consoles, the player claimed.
While the game's creators rushed to fix the problem with a new update, it doesn't appear to have worked, PushSquare reported.
'I've got the exact same problem,' another player said.
"I'm using an original PS5 digital version. Fans start screaming only on map menu."
The issue is isolated to the base PS5, according to PushSquare, with PS5 Pro players reportedly spared the problem.
Gaming consoles may be more susceptible to overheating at the moment as warm weather spikes in parts of the UK, Europe and the US.
Though it's worth noting that there may be more to the overheating issue, such as a memory leak.

EastEnders fans stunned after spotting huge show star in another popular drama
The unexpected cameo from a 2021 repeat didn't go unnoticed Plot Twist EastEnders fans stunned after spotting huge show star in another popular drama EASTENDERS fans have been left stunned after spotting a huge show star in another popular drama. ITV viewers couldn't believe their eyes after noticing that Harriet Thorpe, 68, who plays Elaine Peacock in the BBC soap, popped up in none other than Midsomer Murders. 3 EastEnders fans have been left stunned after spotting Harriet Thorpe in another popular drama Credit: BBC The unexpected cameo from a 2021 repeat didn't go unnoticed. On Reddit, one user wrote: "Ar [sic] Elaine in Midsomer Murders," sharing a photo of the star wearing a floral kaftan and colourful necklace. Another quipped: "It seems she has a consistent costume department." Harriet is well-known to EastEnders viewers as Elaine Peacock - Queen Victoria's feisty landlady. She took on the role in 2023 , but her credits stretch much further back, including appearances in Wicked, Absolutely Fabulous, The Brittas Empire, and of course, Midsomer Murders. In fact, Thorpe appeared in the hit series twice - once in 2006's Dance with the Dead and later in 2021's The Stitcher Society - well before she arrived at the Queen Vic. Last year, The Sun revealed some exclusive photos of Elaine marrying her on-screen husband, George Knight, played by Colin Salmon. Soap bosses filmed the dramatic wedding episodes of the long-awaited nuptials. A huge swathe of the BBC soap's cast turned out to a church in Bushey near the studios to film the big soap wedding of the year. Elaine actress Harriet Thorpe looked stunning in the landlady's shimmering gold wedding gown. EastEnders star looks unrecognisable in classic comedy Absolutely Fabulous Elaine's intended, George Knight actor Colin Salmon wore a sand coloured suit matching with his best man Johnny Carter. Anna and Gina Knight stars Francesca Henry and Molly Rainford were also filming in dark green bridesmaid gowns. While their on-screen mum, Cindy Beale star Michelle Collins also attended in full funeral black alongside Ian Beale actor Adam Woodyatt. A source said at the time: 'The BBC have clearly pushed the boat out for the wedding. 'These days its unheard of for even the big soap weddings to have large amounts of the cast filming on location but bosses have made it work.' 3 She popped up in none other than Midsomer Murders Credit: Reddit

Bride's MIL is slammed for wearing WHITE dress to her wedding – & that's not the only part of her look that's a ‘crime'
A BRIDE'S mother-in-law has been slammed for wearing a white, lace dress to her wedding. But if you thought it was just the colour and style of the frock that has left people fuming, you'll need to think again. 1 Posting on Reddit, on the r/weddingshaming thread, a social media user shared a snap of a family wedding picture that has gone viral online. The anonymous poster uploaded the image under the username @NoSuspect3509 and wrote: 'The bride's MIL. "Not a real surprise to anyone lol.' In the snap, viewers could see the bride, wearing a floorlength white gown and the groom, who wore what appeared to be dark navy jeans, with a waistcoat. Also in the snap was the bride's mother-in-law, who wore a knee-length white lace dress. Next to her is presumed to be the bride's father-in-law, who sported denim jeans and a grey shirt. There was also a youngster in the snap, wearing a white bridesmaid-style dress. And not only was the groom's mother wearing white, but she also donned a denim waistcoat, which has sent social media users wild. Alongside the post, the user wrote: 'Dressed like a bride.' The post, which was shared just two days ago, has clearly left many totally stunned, as it has quickly racked up 2,700 likes and 234 comments. Shocking moment wedding guests carry out sweet tradition in VERY over-the-top way - and it's left people furious Social media users eagerly raced to the comments to share their thoughts on the mother-in-law's outfit, which people described as a 'fashion tragedy.' Not only this, but others cruelly described the look as "hideous" and thought it was a " crime." One person said: 'I find her jean vest to be a crime in itself. If you're going to commit a crime, only do one at a time.' Another added: 'Is the jean vest supposed to be worse than the jeans? They both look out of place and low effort!' Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble. Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom. Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided. Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not. Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered. Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride. A third rudely commented: 'She must have had one heck of a brain fart when she added that jean vest to her inappropriate white lace wedding ensemble. It's a fashion tragedy!' Not only this, but someone else slammed: 'Denim over lace for a MIL dress. It looks just like it sounds, hideous.' Meanwhile, another user described the look as 'so ugly', whilst one person cried: 'So much denim it hurts my eyes.'
