A recent PlayStation 5 system update has introduced a new “Power Saver” feature, which may cause the console to operate at reduced performance in compatible games. This intentional reduction in power is designed to lower energy consumption, aligning with ecological goals.
The Power Saver tool is an optional setting that users can enable through the console’s configuration menu. While activating it might lead to a decrease in gaming performance for certain titles, it serves a beneficial environmental purpose.
In related PlayStation news, it has been observed that attempting to download a large number of games and their downloadable content together on the PlayStation 4 can overwhelm the system. This can lead to performance issues, slowing down the download queue and extending the overall process. The most effective strategy for managing multiple downloads on the PS4 appears to be downloading each game and its associated content individually, rather than initiating all downloads at once.
