How to Power Off a PS5

Turn off the power directly from the game console

Find the power button. The PS5 console has a power button, but due to its discrete design, you won't immediately see it at first glance. Below the vertical black stripe on the console, there are two thin black buttons. The button below will be the power button.

Hold down the power button. Proceed to hold the button for about three seconds until you hear two beeps.

You need to wait for the second beep to sound; If only one beep is heard, the PS5 is going into sleep mode instead of shutting down.

Power off with gamepad

Find the PS5 button. The PS5 button has the same shape as the PlayStation logo and is located between two thumbsticks.

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

Select 'Turn Off PS5' from within the power menu. Finally, select 'Turn Off PS5' from the options that appear.
