Why Does My PS5 Keep Going Into Rest Mode?

-

I’ve been experiencing a weird issue with my PS5 lately. Whenever I’m playing a game, it randomly switches to rest mode. This just started happening, even though I’ve had the console since 2023 and it never did this before. I’ve checked all the settings, and nothing seems to be enabled that would cause it. Can anyone offer some advice on what might be the problem?

Do you have a soundbar connected to your PS5? Sometimes that can interfere with the system’s power settings and cause random rest mode issues.

One thing to check is your TV’s HDMI CEC settings, as they can sometimes cause the console to go into rest mode unexpectedly. You might want to try turning those off. Additionally, you could boot the PS5 into safe mode and select some non-destructive options to see if that helps.
