How to Turn off a PS4 Without a Controller

While it’s possible to turn off your PS4 without a controller, it’s generally recommended to use the controller or the on-screen menu whenever possible. Abruptly shutting down the console using the power button can potentially lead to data loss or hardware issues.

Here’s how to turn off your PS4 using the power button, but use it with caution:

1. Locate the power button: It’s on the front of the console, usually on the left-hand side near the disc slot.
2. Press and hold the power button: Keep it held down for about 7 seconds. You’ll hear a single beep initially, followed by a second beep after 7 seconds.
3. Release the button: After the second beep, release the power button. The console will start shutting down.
4. Wait for the indicator light to turn off: This indicates the console is fully powered down. Don’t unplug the power cord while the light is still flashing.

Important notes:

• This method is similar to cutting power abruptly, so use it sparingly.
• Avoid using this method while downloading, installing, or updating software, as it can corrupt data.
• If your PS4 freezes and you have no other option, this method can be used to force a shutdown. However, it’s still better to try restarting the console normally first.

For safer and more controlled shutdowns, consider these alternatives:

• Use the controller: Press and hold the PS button on your controller, then navigate to the Power menu and select “Turn Off PS4.”
• Use the on-screen menu: Go to Settings > Power > Turn Off PS4.
