Explanation

Dead by Daylight for the ps5 overheats the playstation, seemingly only within menus rather than in-game. Never had the game cause any overheating issues while within matches. only when I have been looking through menus or when the queue has been going on for some time. I cleaned my ps5 recently, and try my best to keep the area around it cool and well ventilated. This overheating issue never occurs with any other video game.
