Freezing on PS4 and PS5

I play paladins on both the PS4 and PS5 and have had game freezes almost every third match I play in. I know this is a common issue across all platforms, however I feel like my consoles are plagued by them more than pcs and Xbox’s. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to reduce the cpu usage during the game? I have heard turning off the voice chat helps, but that’s not the best solution since I play with people I want to communicate with. Thanks for any helpful hints you may have, I love the game and just want to avoid deserter penalties….

Freezing in the middle of the game or in loading screen?

Cross-progression is not currently available between PS4/PS5 and any other platform (and vice-versa). This decision is being held back solely by Sony - Hi-Rez has stated that they’re ready for cross-progression as soon as Sony would agree to it, but they’re currently not doing so.

I’ve been having a lot less issues by turning off the game chat.
