Android Overheating issues are back!

For the last two weeks or so the game when I play has been making my device extremely hot very quickly causing it to lag and pretty unplayable. We had this issue once before on Androids. I thought it was cause we were experiencing a heat wave here but even at night when its cooled down the phone heats up to a point you cannot play again. Can this please be looked into cause I cant be the only one experiencing this issue again

is that doing the Dance Arcade mode ?

But “Heat Wave outside” ?? What the… And can we come for a visit ?

3rd straight weekend of sub 0 F (downwards of maybe -15 F) wind chill, with 1-2 feet of snow that won't even melt for long time. (That's like -20 C for those in rest of world)

Just general playing it gets so hot I have to stop playing.
I even purchased a cellphone cooler which is helping but still it heats up badly.
You dont want to come visit lol, if you can handle 38-40degree celcius weather your good :-P

The browser game still seems to run in the background if you lock the screen from it. Came back to a 2% battery, and yes I personally feel the devices warmer after playing the web game.

I've had the exact same issues. Ive a Samsung Galaxy A12. Phone has 10Gb storage space free so its not an issue with that. Ive cleared caches and uninstalled other apps but its still feels like my phone will explode. I can do 1 fight then my phone turns off and closes the app. So battlegrounds is impossible. Ive had to download the game on my laptop just to stay active for my alliance. All was great up until the dance gamemode. Like for the rhino quest everything was smooth but now i cant play. Havent got any points on crossbones and wasted like 6 refills cause its so laggy and drops every input then crashes. Its a major issue at the moment and needs some sort of fix asap!!

Shoutout richtheman on yt for mentioning this. I thought i was alone

I have a S23 Ultra 512gb…started to overheat significantly, especially playing new dance arcade mode. Extremely hot felt though phone case. A few days ago mid game phone restarted and went into a "boot loop". Was not able to turn phone on again. Took it in for repairs and was informed motherboard is fried, possibly from overheating. Can't be repaired unless new motherboard is installed which costs more than thr phone itself. ...bought a samsung A17 to bridge me to the S26 coming out next month, and this phone also gets extremely hot playing the game and even hotter playing arcade mode. It starts to lag and inputs don't respond. Switched over to my old samsung tablet and exact same issue, so overall I know have an unrepairable phone, and all my Android devices can't handle the game, which I have played sparingly to not damage my other devices from overheating. I think everyone here experiencing these issues should back up all their info on their phones just in case it fries your motherboards.

I have an S25, the phone was cool to the touch when playing this, but recent it's starting to get hot.

I can only play for about 30/45 minutes at a time before the heating lag makes the game unplayable and can't navigate any menus, but it could be my device:

iPhone SE 2nd Gen 2020 release - currently running iOS 26.1.

Like I say, maybe the age of my device but could be worth mentioning.
