Playstation 5 owners are realizing that there's a simple maneuver they can do with the console's stand to ensure better stability. This easy trick can be done in seconds and will help keep your PS5 secure.
A detachable stand for upright positioning
Every PS5 comes with a detachable stand that can be used to position the console upright. The stand either comes attached to the console or might be loose in the box. By using the stand, you can fit your PS5 into tighter spaces and keep it secure.
Additional PS5 tips and tricks
Aside from the console stand maneuver, there are other tips and tricks to enhance your PS5 experience:
- Microphone settings: Using the microphone on your DualSense controller may impact the controller's adaptive triggers. To ensure the full DualSense experience, it is recommended to turn off the microphone and use a separate microphone instead.
- Battery-saving: You can save your controller's battery by setting up an idle timer. By going into settings, clicking on Power Saving, and setting the controller idle time to your preferred duration (10 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes), you can prevent the controller from draining its battery when idle.
- Little-known shortcuts: Tech expert Ben Rowlands (@benrowlands.uk) shared some lesser-known PS5 shortcuts that can elevate your gaming experience. Double-tapping the PS button on the controller allows for easy access to microphone settings. You can also boot up a game faster by doing it directly from the activity bar. Additionally, a long press of the console power button in rest mode initiates a complete shutdown without deleting any important data. Similarly, a long press of the PS button on the controller mutes both your TV and headsets.
By implementing these tips and tricks, PS5 owners can optimize their console's performance and have a smoother gaming experience.
