However, there is a way you can charge your PS4 controllers while in Rest Mode so you don’t run into this issue time and time again.
Here’s how you can charge your PS4 controllers while your console is in Rest Mode, ensuring that you’re in the most comfortable position when it’s time to game.
How Do I Charge My PS4 Controllers While My PS4 Is in Rest Mode?
It’s quick and easy to enable charging your PS4 controllers while your PS4 is in Rest Mode.
First, follow this pathway from your PS4’s home page: Settings > Power Saving Settings > Set Features Available in Rest Mode.
Your PS4’s settings hold many PS4 features that you might not know to exist. Be sure to spend some time digging around, perhaps changing your PS4 theme or switching up your PS4 profile avatar while you’re there.
Once you’re here, select Supply Power to USB Ports. Now, you can choose between giving your PS4’s USB ports power for either three hours or always. As your PS4’s power consumption increases slightly when it’s supplying power to its USB ports, your best option might be 3 Hours to avoid unnecessary power consumption.
So, when you’re done gaming, connect your controller to your PS4, set your PS4 to Rest Mode, and enjoy a comfortable gaming experience when you’re back!
Ensure Your PS4 and Its Controllers Perform at Their Best
Charging your PS4 controllers while your PS4 is in Rest Mode is a great way to make use of your PS4. Now, you can enjoy the majority of your gaming time using your PS4 controller for what it is—a wireless controller.
Keeping your controllers fully charged is one thing, but remember: there are always new skills you can learn or things you can do to get the best out of your PS4.
