Multiply that number by the cost of electricity in your area to find out how much that will cost you. Now all we have to do is convert that figure to dollars by moving the decimal point over two places:. To get an exact number for year area, just take Another quick calculation shows that a powered off—but still plugged in—PS4 uses 4. This is a rough estimate, of course. In real use, your PS4 can use much less power in Rest Mode if you change one simple setting. You can reduce the amount of energy Rest Mode uses by trimming various features.
If you never use your PS4 and leave it sitting around for months on end, you may want to consider turning off your PS4 instead of putting it into Rest Mode.
After all, Rest Mode is a big time saver if you do use your PS4. But if you want to actually turn your PS4 off, long-press the PlayStation button at the center of your controller. That will just turn your PS4 off that one time, however. Your PS4 will turn off by default from now on.
You can also change how long your PS4 waits to turn off as well. If you disable all the features normally available in Rest Mode, the PS4 will turn off instead of entering Rest Mode after this time period expires.

For almost all games, you will need a PlayStation Plus subscription in order to play online - with a notable exception for Fortnite. You can subscribe through the PlayStation Store or by purchasing a code to redeem, and as well as unlocking online play, you also get two free PS4 games per month and GB of online storage for your PS4 saves.
Each month, subscribers receive two free PS Plus games which are yours to keep as long as you remain signed up to the service, but you need to claim these on your account within the month otherwise they'll revert back to their original price.
To use the PS4 as a Media Server, you'll first need to download the Media Player app on your console if you haven't done so already, which can be found on the PlayStation Store. Next, install software such as Universal Media Server on your computer and set it up to make your media folders available on your home network. Now all you need to do is open the Media Player app on the PS4 and your Media Server folders should appear ready to stream onto your console.
PS4 is not backwards compatible, meaning you can't use discs from previous consoles to access your old games, however there are still options for playing them.
Bear in mind that if you previously owned these games you will still need to purchase them again, and save data is not transferable from your old systems. The Spotify app is also available on PS4 for streaming music. Once you're synced up, you can control your PS4 from the PS Vita and play games on the portable screen.
As standard, the Share button on the PS4 controller is configured to access the Share menu with a short press, or hold to take a screenshot. In this menu you can also choose to save screenshots in JPEG or PNG format under Screenshot Settings , and decide if your microphone audio should be included in video clips say, you wanted to record a voiceover through Audio Sharing Settings.
On the surface, it looks like you can only share a single screenshot in a tweet or post, but there is a way to add more. Once you've gone into your Capture Gallery, highlight a screenshot then press and hold the Share button and select the social media platform you want to post to.
On the Share Screenshot section, choose the Change Selection option then tick up to 4 Twitter or 30 Facebook screenshots to add to your post, then simply add your comment and Share.

You can always press the PS button on your PS4 controller to return to the home screen and swap between different applications, but if you double tap the PS button you'll quickly swap between the two most recently used applications.

By selecting Trophies on the home screen then choosing a game, you can view the list of trophies available for it along with their rarity. If you want to find further information on a Hidden Trophy, then select it and press square to Show Hidden Information which reveals its name and description. If you highlight a game on the home screen then hit the Options button, you get a number of options including Check for Update to see if a patch is available, Update History to read the notes for previous patches, and Information to show how much hard drive space the game is using, when it was last updated and what version it's on.
If your PS4 is getting very hot and the fan is making a lot of noise, then it's most likely clogged with dust which is preventing air from circulating correctly inside to cool the components. To resolve this, you can use a can of compressed air to spray the vents around the PS4 and push the dust out - be careful not to shake the can or tilt it at an angle as this could cause condensed liquid to enter your console.
If the overheating is still a problem then you can take apart your PS4 to remove any dust inside, however this will invalidate your warranty so only proceed if you are confident in your abilities. As someone who's had PSN download speed problems for years -- especially on the day of a release or major update -- I found myself frequently Googling for and testing out potential fixes that never worked.
Changing DNS servers, ritualistically switching between WiFi and Ethernet, superstitiously pausing and unpausing downloads at different completion percentages, and even trying to let all downloads progress while the PS4 is in Rest Mode. Nothing ever worked. I finally landed on this potential fix from Redditor TheTigerbite, which described a very simple four-step process that only took a couple of minutes and basically completely uncapped my PSN download speeds.
I discovered this when I left Dishonored 2 downloading overnight—or rather, thought I left Dishonored 2 downloading overnight. Thankfully, the fix is simple. Now, when you leave a game downloading overnight with your PlayStation 4 in Rest Mode, it will actually continue downloading. Browse All iPhone Articles Browse All Mac Articles Do I need one?
