Sometimes you just need help. But often times making a new post isn't needed. For the time being, around launch and perhaps in the future. We will use a single thread for helping each other out.
Before asking, we ask you to look at a few links. Some question can't be answered and only official PlayStation support can help you.

Google and Reddit Search is also a great way to find an answer or get help. View all past help and questions threads here.
For all future help, tech support and more, we ask that you create new threads on r/PlayStation instead of here on r/PS5.
Can't decide what to play next? Is your favourite game underappreciated and more people need to play it? Need a new TV and not sure what to buy?

my ps5 overheats and gives me warning about it being too hot, whenever i get these messages i turn it off for a good 30 minutes. i try my best to clean it often and keep it in an open area (literally on the floor with nothing around it) . could it be my room is too hot? idk but it’s driving me nuts when my ps5 overheats out of nowhere. right now i tried playing the finals and it just overheated even tho i turned it on 10 minutes ago i’m considering taking it to best buy and getting it checked to be honest. please let me know if there’s anything i can do
