Reddit user BigCoreyDsharedthat their son’s PlayStation 5 was overheating quite frequently, and broaching the idea of a repair throughSonywould have cost hundreds of dollars.
Deciding to open the console up for themselves they found an enormous clump of hair and dust that had found its way into the air vents, a problem I’m sure many are familiar with.

Another added: “Perfect post to remind people of cleaning their devices and their homes. Dust gets in everything and this may be necessary depending on your environment.”
For more short term fixes, just keep it in a place that has good airflow if you can, and maybe wipe or vacuum the top of it every now and then just to make sure too much dust doesn’t fall in.
