The PS5 offers a fantastic gaming experience, with a wide array of single and multiplayer titles to choose from. However, there are times when you crave the solitude of solo gaming, free from distractions of messages or invites. Perhaps you’re indulging in a guilty pleasure game, or simply prefer to enjoy your gaming sessions without interruption. Whatever the reason, the PS5 allows you to appear offline, giving you the peace and privacy you desire.
Appearing offline on your PS5 is incredibly simple and can be toggled on and off within seconds. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1.
Navigate to your PS5 home screen.
2.
Open the Control Center by pressing the PlayStation button.
3.
Scroll over and select the Profile icon.
4.
The first option that appears will be ‘Online Status’. Select this option.
5.
You’ll now be presented with three choices: ‘Online’, ‘Busy’, or ‘Appear Offline’. Choose the last option to appear offline until you decide to change your status back.
With this simple adjustment, you can enjoy your gaming sessions without any unwanted notifications or interruptions. It’s a convenient feature that gives you complete control over your online presence, allowing you to play your games in peace, whatever your reason may be.
