Reality vs Adventure Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I was wondering if always turning the ps4 off after use damages anything over time. If you keep it rest mode, how long? Forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syntax Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I always keep mine in test mode since it installs game updates, and gets everything ready for me even if I don’t play it for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayokex Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I do keep my PS off so as to allow it to restarted a long time of working and playing. I'm concern about the durability of the gadget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkiz Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I always turn mine off after usage, because I feel that leaving it on might affect it in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I turn mine off if I won't be using it for awhile, if I do plan to get back to it soon, I'll put it in rest mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it's actually why I never switch off mine as long as I know that I'm not done playing for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 When I don't want to face the issues of hassle, I can simply keep it at the sleep mode, so, I can simply ON my TV and start from where I stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 If I have a game that would played sooner after my last game, then switching it off wouldn't be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivion Knight Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I switch mine off.. I only use rest mode if I'm waiting for an update. Especially since after a gaming session, I'm never quite sure just how soon I'm likely to get another session in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Switching it off at this time is the best in order to keep it off from heating up. When I am around to play I simply open and have some fun time playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
