How to Turn Off the PS5

Power off directly from the console

Locate the power button. The PS5 console has a power button, but because of the discrete design it is not visible at first glance. At the bottom of the black strip that runs down the console, you will find two thin black buttons. The bottom one is the power button.

Press and hold the button. Press the button and hold it until you hear two beeps. This should take about three seconds. Be sure to wait for a second beep; if you only hear one, that means the PS5 will go into rest mode instead of turning off.

Power off using the controller

Find the PS5 button. The PS5 button is shaped like the PlayStation symbol and located between the two thumbsticks.

Press the PS5 button. When you press the PS5 button, a menu will appear at the bottom of the screen. Select the power icon, the last one on the right.

Select “Turn Off PS5” from the power menu. Finally, select “Turn Off PS5” from the options that appear.
