Hidden PS5 Features You Should Already Be Using
By MARKKUS ROVITO
Game Presets
With Game Presets, you can set a number of global preferences for difficulty level, resolution, and others that will automatically apply to most PS5 games you install.
Go to Settings > Save Data and Game/App Settings, and then Game Presets, where you can set game difficulty level, view, camera movement, and the subtitles and audio language.
Remote Play
Enjoy gaming on the PS5 from the screen of a mobile, computer, or other PS4/PS5 console using Remote Play. To do this, enable Remote Play from the PS5's System Settings.
You need to install the Remote Play software on your Windows/Mac computer or iOS/Android mobile device and follow the instructions to connect it to the PS5.
Rest Mode
In Settings > System > Power Saving, you can set the amount of inactive time it takes to go into the power-saving Rest Mode, or set it to never go into Rest Mode at all.
While in Rest Mode, PS5 can still charge controllers or make downloads while using much less energy. You can set the PS5 to go into Rest Mode when the connected display shuts off.
Banish Spoilers
You can block screenshots and other content from the Home Screen that may contain spoilers to games with the Spoiler Warning option in the Settings.
Go to Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Spoiler Warnings. Toggle on "Warn About Game Spoilers" and either block all games or just the titles identified by developers.
Game Help
You can get game walkthrough tips without exiting the game and risking exposure to spoilers via integrated Game Help function for a list of dozens of PS5 titles.
Game Help is accessible from the PS button on the DualSense controller, which brings up the Control Center. However, you must have subscribed to PlayStation Plus.
