How to Turn off PS5 the Right Way to Protect Storage and Save Power

Press the PS button, select the Power icon, then choose Turn Off PS5. Or hold the power button for about three seconds until it beeps twice.

• A single beep starts a safe restart, while two beeps confirm a full shutdown.
• Rest mode saves power while letting updates download in the background.
• New PS5 consoles in India cost between Rs. 49,990 and Rs. 54,990.
• Bajaj Finance lets you repay a new console across a tenure of 3 to 60 months.

Convert the cost of your new console into Easy EMIs using Bajaj Finance's financing options at over 1.5 lakh partner stores such as Reliance Digital and Croma, or find a partner store near you. Check your loan eligibility before getting started.

You can turn off your PS5 either with the DualSense controller or directly from the console, without any risk to your game data. Here are the ways to do it safely:

• Using the DualSense controller: Press the PS button, open the Control Centre, select the Power icon, and choose "Turn Off PS5" for a full shutdown, or "Enter Rest Mode" for background updates and a faster resume.
• Manually from the console: Locate the power button on the front of the PS5 and press and hold it for about three seconds until you hear two beeps. This shuts the system down safely.
• Through voice command (if enabled): Say "Hey PlayStation, turn off" to shut down the console hands-free.

Turning off your PS5 properly avoids system damage and helps conserve energy. If you are thinking about upgrading, you can explore the Sony PS5 or check out the best PS5 games to plan your next purchase, and bring it home on Easy EMIs through Bajaj Finance.

Restarting your PS5 directly from the console is useful when your controller is unresponsive or you are troubleshooting a system issue. Here is how to do it safely:

• Locate the power button: On the front panel, find the physical power button, positioned near the bottom edge on the standard PS5 or along the curve on the Digital Edition.
• Press and hold for one beep: Press and hold the button until you hear one beep. This starts a safe shutdown.
• Wait, then restart: Let the console shut down completely, then press the power button again to restart it.

Restarting refreshes your console without affecting your game data or saved files, which makes it a safe first step for minor bugs. If you want to enhance your setup further, exploring PlayStation Plus gives you free monthly games, online multiplayer, and cloud saves, all available on Easy EMIs.

Sudden shutdowns and power interruptions can affect performance and, over time, damage internal components. A few habits go a long way in preventing this:

• Use a high-quality surge protector: Power fluctuations can trigger shutdown issues, so plug your PS5 into a reliable surge protector to shield it from electrical damage.
• Keep your console well-ventilated: Overheating can lead to sudden shutdowns. Place your PS5 in an open space with good airflow and clean the vents regularly.
• Avoid frequent hard shutdowns: Always power off your PS5 through the system menu or power button, never by unplugging it directly.
• Update your system software: Regular updates include fixes that can prevent system glitches and unexpected shutdowns.

If you are considering an upgrade, the Sony PlayStation PS5 Slim Console offers a compact design, available on Easy EMIs with zero down payment on select models.

Rest mode is a smart way to save power while keeping your console active in the background, letting you resume games faster, download updates automatically, and charge your controller even when the system looks off.

To activate it, press the PS button on your DualSense controller, open the Control Centre, go to the Power icon, and select "Enter Rest Mode." The screen goes dark, and the console light glows orange to confirm it is in rest mode. Press the PS button again to wake it.

One trade-off worth knowing: rest mode gets you back into a game faster than a full shutdown, but it still draws some power in the background, unlike a complete shutdown, which uses almost none. If you are stepping away for just a short while, rest mode makes sense; for longer breaks, a full shutdown saves more energy. If you are still using an older console, this PS4 vs PS5 comparison covers the improved rest mode and faster boot times on the PS5.

Pricing depends mainly on whether you choose the Disc or Digital Edition, so it helps to see both before deciding. Here is the current official pricing:
