PlayStation Reveals How Many Gamers Turn Off Their PS5 Instead putting It in Rest Mode.

50% of PlayStation 5 Users Skip Using Rest Mode – Here's Why




In a recent interview with Stephen Totilo, Cory Gasaway revealed an intriguing statistic: half of PlayStation 5 users opt not to use the console's Rest Mode feature. This revelation shines a light on a feature that has become a hallmark of modern gaming consoles, sparking debate among gamers and tech enthusiasts alike.

What is Rest Mode on PS5?

Rest Mode is a key feature designed to optimize convenience and energy efficiency. It allows PlayStation 5 users to keep games running, resume play instantly, and download updates or new titles seamlessly—all while consuming minimal power. Introduced as part of Sony's push toward sustainability, this feature has been an integral part of the PlayStation ecosystem since its early days.

Why Are PS5 Users Avoiding Rest Mode?

While Rest Mode provides benefits like uninterrupted downloads and faster startup times, some users remain skeptical. Reports of bugs, power surges, and occasional crashes when using Rest Mode have deterred some gamers. Additionally, others may prefer completely shutting down their console to avoid even minimal power usage.

Sony’s Push for Sustainability

Ahead of the PlayStation 5's launch, Jim Ryan emphasized Sony’s commitment to environmentally friendly initiatives. Rest Mode plays a crucial role in reducing the PS5's power consumption compared to the PS4, aligning with Sony’s mission of sustainability. However, the statistic that 50% of PS5 users bypass this feature suggests a disconnect between its intended purpose and its real-world adoption.

Should You Use Rest Mode?

For many gamers, Rest Mode is a convenience worth exploring. It supports faster game resumption, ongoing downloads during downtime, and even remote updates, making it an attractive option for those with busy schedules. However, the choice ultimately depends on individual preferences, with some prioritizing reliability over convenience.

The Future of Rest Mode on PlayStation 5

As Sony continues to refine the PlayStation 5, addressing concerns around Rest Mode could lead to broader adoption among users. Whether due to convenience or sustainability, Rest Mode has the potential to play a more prominent role in the console's lifecycle.
