How to Power Off PS5 with Controller
Powering off your PlayStation 5 (PS5) with a controller is a convenient and straightforward process. Whether you’re simply turning off the console or putting it into rest mode, following these steps will help you ensure that your PS5 is powered down correctly. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to power off your PS5 using your controller.
1. Press the PS button on your controller.
When you press the PS button, the PS5’s home screen will appear. This button is located on the front of the controller, and it’s typically the largest button on the controller.
2. Navigate to the power options.
On the home screen, you’ll see a menu on the left side. Scroll down to the “Settings” option and select it. Within the Settings menu, scroll down to the “System” tab and select it. Finally, scroll down to the “Power” option and select it.
3. Choose the power off option.
Once you’re in the Power settings, you’ll see several options. Look for the “Power Off” option and select it. This will prompt a confirmation message asking if you’re sure you want to power off the console.
4. Confirm the power off action.
Press the “X” button on your controller to confirm the power off action. Your PS5 will then begin the shutdown process, and the console will turn off after a few moments.
Alternatively, if you want to put your PS5 into rest mode instead of fully powering it off, you can select the “Enter Rest Mode” option from the Power settings. This will allow you to quickly resume your gaming session without having to restart the console.
Remember to power off your PS5 properly to ensure that your console remains in good condition and to conserve energy. By following these simple steps, you can easily power off your PS5 using your controller.
