Playing KCD2 for extended hours can cause your console to get overheated, leading to lags and stutters. To fix this, simply turn off your console and wait for around 10 minutes or so before you restart it.

This will help extend your console's life and help you get stable frame rates while gaming.

2) Check ventilation and overheating issues

If you are still experiencing higher temperatures despite following the first step, ensure your console is dust-free. If dust has accumulated on your console, it can lead to higher temperatures. To fix this, simply remove the side panel of your PS5 and clean any accumulated dust.

Also ensure that your console is not kept inside a closed cabinet, or at a place with poor ventilation.
