Rest Mode, which can still perform downloads, uses just 1.2W. To employ Rest Mode, select Enter Rest Mode after pressing the PlayStation Button. According to Sony’s Energy Efficiency data, a system running a PlayStation 5 title will use around 209.8 W. If left on the home screen, it will consume 45.6 W.
Rest Mode It will consume just 0.35 W. This mode still boasts fast start-up, and is remarkably energy efficient. As such, users don’t necessarily need to ever shut down their PlayStation 5 system entirely. Rest Mode proved problematic at the system’s release, even bricking some unfortunate consoles, but stability updates have been implemented since.
Concerns, however, may relate more to the system overheating than energy costs. Keeping fans clear is the first rule of technology. Prolonged gaming sessions are standard for some users, and as the system was created to cater to such, fans won’t be adversely affected by them. Though a console can get rather hot, the irksome fan noises high temperatures can incur should be temporary.
There’s no “correct” setting to enable with your system, though. It’s about player preference. If you’ve been stung by Rest Mode issues in the past, or heard from others who have, it’s best to implement the setting cautiously. Nonetheless, leaving a PlayStation 5 on overnight won’t, theoretically, do it any harm.
