Who bought a PlayStation 5 (PS5) unit, especially those sold during its release, It should be alert to a critical console failure. Despite the care taken by Sony, the liquid metal used to cool the device can leak thanks to a critical failure – which is able to completely render its APU unusable.
In an interview with Moore Law Is Dead, Matthew Cassels of Alderon Games, warned that the problem is becoming more frequent. The head of the studio responsible for Path of Titans explains that the issue is more common among users who use their consoles vertically.
Cassels also stated that he was more attentive to the problem when an update of his game began to make many consoles turn off for no apparent reason. Analyzing discussions on Discord and Support Tickets, your team has come to the conclusion that the issue has to do with a PS5 design problem.
Talking to Sony, Alderon Games found that, The more intense the processes required by a game, the greater the chance that a leakage happens. And that’s precisely why the Path of Titans update began to make many consoles turn off during the gameplay.
Solution to the PS5 problem is not easy
Cassels also explained that the issue may not result in a complete leakage of liquid metal. However, a slight loss of material is enough to leave some areas of PS5 Dry APU, making them more susceptible to overheating.
The Alderon Games developer said this is a problem that does not have a simple solution, as the console has no means of checking its internal temperatures via software. In addition, decreasing frame rates or details of a game, while decreasing the heat generated, can also undermine the public’s experience – especially among those who have no consoles with the defect.
The issue should not affect all consumers, but the creator of Path of Titans states that reported a 3% increase in complaints related after the game update. Sony herself has known the design failure for years and has taken steps to prevent leaks from happening on the PS5 Slim and the Pro model.
The founder of Alderon Games believes that the only way for the manufacturer to compensate for the problem is to create a free repair program – which she has not given evidence that she intends to do. He also believes that the situation tends to intensify in the coming years And many consumers who bet on the console debut will see their units die.
