Playstation 5 owners are excitedly sharing a simple maneuver that can ensure their console stays securely in place. This easy tip may have gone unnoticed by some, but it's a game-changer for those who want to stand their PS5 upright.
Every PS5 comes with a detachable stand
The trick was revealed by technology publication Android Authority in their latest article on PS5 tips and tricks. The detachable stand, which comes with every PS5, allows you to position your console horizontally. But did you know you can also use the stand to maneuver the console into tighter upward spaces?
More PS5 tips and tricks
Aside from the stand maneuver, there are other useful tips for getting the most out of your PS5. For a full DualSense experience, it is recommended to turn off the microphone on the controller and use a separate mic instead. This will avoid interference with the controller's adaptive triggers.
Another handy tip is to set up an idle timer for your controller to save battery life. By adjusting the settings, you can prevent the controller from staying on unnecessarily when idle.
Tech expert Ben Rowlands (@benrowlands.uk) also shared some lesser-known shortcuts to enhance your gaming experience. For example, double-tapping the PS button on your controller allows you to quickly access your microphone settings. And if you long-press the console power button while it's in rest mode, you can perform a complete shutdown that won't delete any important data.
So, whether you're using the stand maneuver or trying out these other tips, you can make the most of your PS5 gaming experience.
