So my PS5 froze while I was using Disney Plus and then it turned itself off. Should I be worried about this? Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again? What could be causing this issue in the first place?

First off, keep in mind that consoles aren’t primarily for streaming. Try using your TV’s native apps or getting a separate streaming device. It’s usually cheaper than risking your PS5 overheating from constant use.
But, consoles do have these apps for a reason, right? Not everyone has smart TVs. It’s annoying that using these apps can crash the console; they should work smoothly!
I’ve had similar shutdowns while playing Minecraft. Not sure if it’s my PS5 or just the game acting up. But yeah, it can happen occasionally.
It might be overheating. It’s a good idea to open it up and give it a cleaning to get rid of any dust buildup. Just be sure to do it outside to avoid any mess!
Totally agree! A quick blast with some compressed air works wonders. Just don’t forget to be careful while handling it.
If it only happened once, it might just be a glitch. No need to stress too much! But if it starts happening frequently, you might want to look into common issues with PS5 shutdowns.
Honestly, if it was a one-time thing, I wouldn’t worry. Strange things happen with tech sometimes. Just keep an eye on it; if it happens again, then maybe start looking into it.

Right? Those devices are like $30! Much cheaper than replacing a PS5.
