Did You Know About THIS Secret PS4 Feature?

Now, while your game of choice – let’s use God of War – will indeed be waiting for you when the sun rises, you’ll also have been quietly amassing a nice addition to your electricity bill thanks to leaving your PS4 on during your slumber - plus your poor PlayStation's fan has likely taken a right battering during those hours.

A smart, relatively unknown function of the PS4, however, is that the system has a timer function that’s designed with energy efficiency in mind.

By simply going to Settings, then Power Save Settings, you can not only shut down your PS4 or place it in standby mode, but you can set a timer that will switch your PlayStation 4 off, as and when you want.

At least now when you make that questionable late-night call to download yet another game to your library, you can conserve your PS4’s energy and also help yourself out when it comes to paying those pesky bills.

Well, unless your one of us who lives in a basement and doesn’t have to even give a passing thought to bills. In that case, at least think of your loyal PS4 and its likely overly-worked cooling system.
