If you’re like most people, you probably use your PS4 as your primary entertainment console. That means that when you’re not using it, you want it to be in rest mode so it’s ready to go when you are. However, there are times when you may not want your PS4 to go into rest mode, such as when you’re updating it or when you’re waiting for an important online match to start. In these cases, you’ll need to know how to stop your PS4 from going into rest mode.

There are a few different ways to do this. One way is to go into the PS4’s power settings and disable the feature that puts it into rest mode. Another way is to unplug the PS4’s power cord from the wall outlet. This will prevent the PS4 from receiving power and turning on, so it won’t be able to go into rest mode.

If you’re just wanting to prevent your PS4 from going into rest mode for a short period of time, such as while you’re waiting for an online match to start, you can put it into standby mode instead. To do this, press and hold the PS4’s power button for about 10 seconds until the system beeps twice. This will put the PS4 into a low-power state where it can still connect to the internet but won’t be able to power on fully.

Hopefully, this has helped you to understand how to stop your PS4 from going into rest mode. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask us in the comments below.

 

How to Change Your PS4’s Rest Mode Settings 

If you’re like most people, you probably use your PS4 in Rest Mode when you’re not playing it. However, you may not be aware that you can actually change your PS4’s Rest Mode settings to customize how it behaves. Here’s a quick guide on how to do it.

 

1. Start by pressing the PlayStation button on your controller to get to the main menu.

 

2. From there, scroll up to the Settings menu and select it.

 

3. Next, scroll down to the Power Saving Settings menu and select it.

 

4. You should now see an option for Rest Mode. Select that.

 

5. You’ll now see a few different options for Rest Mode. The first is whether or not your PS4 will continue to download updates and games while in Rest Mode. If you have a good internet connection, we recommend keeping this turned on so you can take advantage of those updates.

The second option is whether or not your PS4 will charge your controller while in Rest Mode. This is handy if you want to make sure your controller is always charged and ready to go.

The last option is whether or not your PS4 will enter Rest Mode automatically when it’s been inactive for a period of time. We recommend keeping this turned on so you don’t have to worry about your PS4 going into Rest Mode when you’re not using it.

And that’s all there is to changing your PS4’s Rest Mode settings! Just remember to save your changes before exiting the menu.
