I've tried getting into Hollow Knight on 3 separate occasions because of how great people say it is. But it's just not for me. I don't get it.

It took me 4 times before it clicked. Nothing really changed except me. I had the same issue with BoTW. I think in both cases I needed to meet the games half way.
With Hollow Knight I was able to be more zen about getting lost and dying. I also didn't try to "souls-through" the bosses that 4th time. Instead I skipped them and came back if it stopped being fun. Not saying it will click with you, but it ended up being one of my favorite Metroid-like games; definitely the most recent of my favorites.

Yeah but don’t you think we have enough of those types of games? I may not love his stories either but I appreciate that he is doing something different

Has anyone here having issues where the ps5 will randomly shut off when playing certain ps5 games? It's fine when playing ps4 games.
I have to play the ps4 version of gow, so my ps5 doesn't shut off

Yea, so far 3 ps5 games just shut off my ps5 after like 30 mins of playing. I took the system apart and cleaned it real good, and it still does it.

I don't have that problem. But my Ethernet port started randomly dropping a month or more back. And the other day it fully died. Now the wifi is starting to randomly drop. Love it when an expensive electronic device starts failing just shortly after the warranty expires.

Any chance it’s your TV that’s turning off (auto-shutdown after X minutes)?

Power or heat related. Call Support, get it taken care of

Drizz might be onto something. My PS5 activates some new connectivity features on my TV that the XSX doesn't. The PS5 turned on by me just navigating some TV settings.

The system is almost 2 years old, so no warranty. It's starting to aggravate the piss out of me. Im always afraid that a new game will cause it to do this.

Its sounds as though the Signal just drops. I would check the simple things first New HDMI cable, different port on the TV...

No, it actually shuts off. I have to unplug the power cord before it even comes boots back up.. it's 100% def shutting off

Hasn't happened to me. The other day though while playing Horizon: Forbidden West I did have the picture on the TV flicker black for a second on 3 occasions, maybe 10-15 minutes apart. Hasn't happened again since then though.

Yeah, signals dipping is one thing (could be a sound system sync issue for instance), the system powering down is either overheat or power supply failure. Having to unplug and replug is actually a +1 for bad power supply. It could be a bad SSD, but much less likely, that'd probably cause a hung system, not a powerdown.
It may not be covered under warranty, but it beats paying $500. I'd still call Sony and see if they'll take a look; if it's a defect from an early line it's also possible they may just take care of it and have you pay shipping or something. If it's a power supply that's like a $100 part swap, maybe $180 on top for labor, if it's overheating they could charge for a new mainboard... but it's more likely it just needs to be re-lubed and re-sealed. I'd trust Sony over any third parties right now, because if the third party guesses wrong or fudges it up it's just gonna cost you more to fix it.

How exactly would I go about getting a hold of Sony in this kind of situation

That sounds like either a faulty or dusty power supply (PS4 games draw less power than PS5 games). Try to clean really well around it and see if that fixes the problem.

Also, I want to say that it doesn't do this all the time. I can play for hours without issues, but select games will make it shut down. The games are Outriders and Biomutant ( both games caused the issue twice within and hour period). And it happened once on GoW
