    I am on PS5 and haven't had that issue. Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling Dbd?

    No but that used to happen on my PS4 Pro, and only on DBD. I took it to bits but there was barely any dust in it. Taking off the heatsink and replacing the thermal paste fixed it.

    yes this happens to my ps5. Its not an overheating issue and its clean. Also does not happen in other games. I can play other games (Rainbow six siege, outlast trials, ,fortnite, apex, marvel, tcm, overwatch 2) and this never happens during hours and hours and hours of game play but as soon as its dbd it just shuts off almost immediately.
