The next gen of gaming consoles is here, and with the PS5 showcasing a lot of living rooms, there have surely been plenty of sleepless video game nights this past week..
But you can't play forever, and sometimes turning off the console manually is too much effort for you.
If you are not close to your PS5 to turn it off but still have the controller in your hands, you are in luck..
The PS5, just like its predecessors, has a very convenient way to be turned off with just the controller - and the steps are very simple.
- Start by pressing the PlayStation button in the center of your controller. This can be done on any game or app.
- After that, the menu will appear on your screen. Go down and to the right you will see the options “Power. "
- From here you can choose to Turn off your PS5 or Put it to Sleep. By doing this, you will be able to continue loading any controllers that are plugged in and any downloads you have will continue. Turning off the PS5 will shut it down completely.
