PS5 Tips & Tricks: 9 Things You Didn't Know It Could Do

8. Turn The PS5 On Using Spotify Or The PS App

Spotify and PlayStation (or Xbox too) are matches made in heaven. Controlling your game music from your phone works by using the app and beaming audio to the system as an output on the "Now Playing" screen, but on PS5 you can go one further.

First, hop into "Power Save Settings", then "Rest Mode Settings", and you'll be able to tick the box allowing Spotify to wake the system up from standby.

Understandably it doesn't work when totally powered off, but just tap your PS5 as an output source from any Spotify app, and your system will wake up whilst playing your music.

In addition, the new PS App lets you power the system on the same way. You can queue and manage downloads, alongside selecting a game you want to play, meaning the PS5 loads that game immediately, skipping the dashboard to go straight into your title of choice.

As an additional tip, set the system to bypass the login screen and the process is completely seamless.
