How to Turn Off PS5 Game System
Switching off the PS5 will end all games and apps. You should switch off your PS5 when you need to remove the plug for power. This stops data loss or damage to the game system. At that point, turning off the PS5 is a smart way to protect against surprise power losses. Also, turning off any device will help it really rest from your hard gaming times. It will even save some energy.
You can shut down your PS5 console in two fast ways. The first way is to push the power button on the front of the machine by hand. The button is hard to see because it is long, blends and thin in with the shiny black surface. But you will see it under the Eject button on the CD version or as the only one on the Digital Edition.
The second way to switch off your console is by using the Control Center. Push the PlayStation (PS) button on your controller of DualSense.
Doing this will show the Control Center taskbar menu. Go all the way to the right and you will see options for power. Choose Turn Off PS5 from there.

How to set the PS5 in sleep mode
Rest mode is a sleep state for your PS5 game console. It is like making it rest a bit. It would be fully on, but it will keep charging controllers and getting updates. We suggest you use “rest mode” to download big game files because the console will finish it quicker. If you need a rest but want to get back quickly, the computer will keep games suspended and ready. This is possible because of the fast loading times provided by a strong SSD.
To make the PS5 go to sleep, press the PS button on the dual-sense controller. Then scroll all the way to get power choices shown. There, choose Enter Rest Mode.
Do not take out the PS5’s power cord while it is resting, as this could break it or mess up saved data.
Managing Rest Mode
You can change what options are there in rest mode by going to Settings, then System and choosing Power Saving. Go to Rest Mode features.
If you turn off all options, your game machine will use even less power than 0.5 watts. But if you want to give energy through USB ports for charging controllers or other stuff, stay online so the files/content can be updated and start your PS5 from far away using Remote Play and the PlayStation app these things will need more energy usage.
You can also choose how long your PS5 stays without action before it goes into sleep mode automatically. Go to Settings, then System and choose Power Saving. You will find the option there. Pick Rest Mode Time for PS5.
You can choose different times until the screen goes to sleep, depending if it is not being used while watching movies or playing games.
