If you have been playing Split Fiction for extended hours, it can lead to your console getting overheated, which can in turn, lead to dips in performance. This is why we suggest that you and your partner to go on a little break and restart your console and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

This will ensure that your console returns to normal temperatures. Moreover, it will help increase your console's life as well.

3) Check for overheating and ventilation problems

If your console overheats due to any reason, it might result in you getting unstable FPS while playing Split Fiction. This is why you need to ensure that your console is not kept inside a closed cabinet or at a place that is not well-ventilated.

If it is, relocate it to a better spot. Moreover, if there is any accumulated dust, give your console a good clean as this can also cause performance depletions while playing games.
