I’m leaving for a while and want to play my PS5 while I’m away. I prefer to completely shut down my PS5 instead of leaving it on or in rest mode for an extended time. I’ve considered using a smart outlet to turn the power on and off, but I heard that turning it back on causes the PS5 to shut down completely. Is there any way to shut down my PS5 and still have it accessible for remote play?

If you keep it in rest mode, you can still play remotely! I’ve been doing this for years without issues. It even allows updates to download automatically, so you’re always ready to go when you’re back.
Unfortunately, your PS5 needs to be in rest mode for remote play to work. If it’s completely off, you won’t be able to connect to it remotely.
