How to lower the cost of running a PS5
The PS5 uses roughly 200W during graphically demanding games, less for lighter titles, and roughly 70W when streaming movies or shows. Rest mode with USB charging and internet connectivity enabled draws a small amount continuously. Your TV's consumption is separate — add it for the full cost of a gaming session.
- Limit rest-mode features (USB power, always-connected) if you don't need them.
- Set the console to turn off after a period of inactivity.
- Use a streaming stick or the TV's apps for video — they use far less power than the console.
