Similar to the PS4, this new console allows you to manage power consumption features. To turn it off completely or suspend it in sleep mode to be able to perform some practical functions in the background while we do not use the device. These are the 4 basic ones:

PS Remote Play for remote operation: The official PlayStation app for your Android device allows you to remotely operate your console. This is very useful to start downloading very heavy games while we are in the office for example.

Some titles can also be played entirely from the smartphone. But the list is very short.

Prolonged pause of games: if in the middle of a game we activate the sleep mode of the PS5 our game will stay exactly at the point where we left them when we turn it on again.

But you have to be careful, if there is a blackout or power cut we will lose the latest advances in the game.

Hassle-Free Updates: Firmware updates can be downloaded and installed while the console sleeps. This is very practical because when you login everything is ready and it doesn’t bother your game.

Control charging: connect your PS5 control to the console using its USB cable, activate sleep mode and when you activate your console again in your next game, the control will have 100% battery.
