How to turn off your PS5 quickly?


Everyone knows how to turn off PS5, right? You'd think so, but Sony hasn’t made it quite as simple as you’d expect — especially if you’ve come from a PS3 or PS4, which have a subtly different way of turning off the console. Below, you’ll find instructions for how to turn off your PS5 both via the DualSense pad, and by physically using the buttons on the console itself. Just be aware that there are two states of "off" for the PS5: fully shut down, and rest mode. While the former ends all activity, the latter means that the console can continue to download patches, remotely install games and charge attached controllers. It’ll continue to draw a little power (0.5w, according to Sony), so you may prefer to turn it off entirely.
