PlayStation 5 (PS5) owners have recently stumbled upon a little-known trick that can greatly enhance their gaming sessions. If you're tired of being constantly bombarded by pop-up notifications while playing, this feature is essential for you. Sony has incorporated a Do Not Disturb mode into the PS5 software, allowing gamers to temporarily pause all notifications. When activated, this mode blocks all notifications, including messages, trophies, and game downloads, until the console is restarted. Alternatively, users can easily turn off the Do Not Disturb mode when they're finished with their gaming session.
How to activate Do Not Disturb mode
To activate the Do Not Disturb mode, simply press the PS button on your controller to open the Control Center. From there, select Notifications (represented by a bell icon) and choose the Do Not Disturb option. This will temporarily silence all notifications on your console. The setting can be changed back to normal at any time. For more permanent silencing options, users can go to Settings > Notifications. Here, they can choose to permanently block pop-up notifications or adjust how long a pop-up appears on the screen before disappearing.
Appear offline for ultimate peace
In addition to the Do Not Disturb mode, PlayStation owners can also utilize another handy trick to maintain ultimate peace while gaming. It is possible to appear offline on the PS5 and even log in as "offline." To do this, boot up your PlayStation as usual. When the Welcome Back To PlayStation screen appears, press the menu button on your profile to bring up a hidden options panel. Scroll down and choose "Appear Offline" to log in without being seen by friends. This means you can play video games in peace without constantly being interrupted by alerts. If you're already logged in, you can still switch to invisible mode by selecting your profile image at the top of the screen. Then, click on it to reveal a menu, choose "Online Status," and select "Appear Offline." This setting can also be changed at any time.
With these hidden features, PS5 owners can now enjoy gaming without any distractions or interruptions. Whether you prefer temporary silencing or a more permanent solution, Sony has provided options to enhance the gaming experience for all PlayStation users.
