Death Stranding 2 Update Is Reportedly Overheating PS5s

The latest update for Death Stranding 2 is now available, but it might be best to hold off on installing it as it could potentially lead to some headaches for players. This game has been highly praised by both critics and fans this year due to its unique storyline, strategic gameplay, and stunning visuals. It stands out from other games and has captured the attention of even those who weren’t fond of the original. The sequel’s concept, brought to life by Hideo Kojima, has been a hot topic on social media since its release, with numerous videos, photo mode captures, and discussions about it.

The latest update for Death Stranding 2 appears to be causing issues for some gamers. As per a recent report by MP1st, this new update is reportedly causing numerous problems. Some players are experiencing overheating of their PlayStation 5 consoles while using the in-game map, an increase in fan noise within the unit, and even unexpected spikes in in-game volume at random times. This update seems to be generating more complications than solutions, making it a strange one indeed.

At present, neither PlayStation nor Kojima Productions have issued any statements regarding the issue. Given the escalation of problems, it’s likely that some announcement and resolution efforts will be made soon. For now, if you can avoid updating Death Stranding 2, do so. If an update has been automatically installed, it might be best to pause your gameplay until a fix is released. It’s important to note that while a PS5 can operate after overheating, repeated instances of this could potentially damage the console. So, try not to push your console too hard or create situations where overheating may occur frequently.

Interestingly, despite numerous reports of issues and bugs, Death Stranding 2 proved to be exceptionally well-crafted during my 60-hour playthrough in June. I encountered no performance problems, crashes, or glitches throughout my gaming experience. The game appears to have been developed with great care and attention, suggesting it wasn’t hastily released in a subpar state. However, updates can potentially introduce problems as they attempt to rectify existing issues. Although this is not common, it may affect the performance of the machine running the game. It seems that something within the game requires the PS5 to run at high speed, but the cause remains unclear.
