How To Fix PS4 Overheating When Playing Call Of Duty Warzone
There are some PS4 Call Of Duty Warzone gamers reporting about their console overheating and crashing without an error. If you are looking for a solution to this problem, this guide may help. We’ll show you how to fix this problem on your own.
What are the causes for PS4 overheating issues
There are a number of possible reasons why your PS4 may be overheating when playing Call of Duty Warzone.
Game needs an update.
If your PS4 only crashes or overheats when playing Call Of Duty Warzone, and not with other games, it’s possible that you may have coding issue. This means that the current version of the game may have a glitch which may only be fixed by an update.
Warzone will not load if its outdated but just in case, you can try to manually check for updates to double check. You can do that by quitting the game, restarting the console, and trying to play it again.
Poor ventilation.
The PS4 internal components can heat up really quickly when it’s trying to play a game so it requires constant flow of air in and around it to keep the heat in check. If the air vents of the PS4 are blocked or too close to a wall or object, there may not be enough air to circulate inside the console. Makes sure that there’s at least 2 inches of space between the console and any objects around it.
Exposure to direct heat.
If your PS4 is located in an area where it receives heat, like when it’s beside an oven, furnace, or window with access to direct sunlight, it may become too hot. Try to relocate the console to a cooler area and ensure that it gets good ventilation.
Software is not updated.
In some rare cases, a PS4 software glitch may cause the system to crash or trigger an overheating warning. This may happen even if the console is not overheating at all. Make sure that you install the latest software update to fix the issue.
Hardware malfunction.
For some unfortunate users, their PS4 may fail due to a hardware fault. This may occur if the console had been dropped, hit by a hard object, or regularly exposed to elements like dust, heat, water, or moisture.
