Powering off your PS4 correctly ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your console. Improper shutdowns can lead to data corruption, software issues, and even hardware damage. Knowing how to power off your PS4 correctly is crucial for its maintenance and overall user experience.
The PS4 offers two main methods to power off the console: using the controller or the power button on the console itself. Using the controller is the most convenient method, as it allows you to power off the PS4 without having to physically interact with the console. To power off your PS4 using the controller, press and hold the PlayStation button on the controller until the Quick Menu appears. Then, select the “Power” option and choose “Turn Off PS4.” The console will then begin the power-off process.
