Start and activate PS5 screensaver?

Is there on the PlayStation 5 a screen saver? If so, how can this be done? Activate screensaver on the PS5 and start? Something like this might be asked by one or other PlayStation 5 owner who has connected the new Sony console to an OLED television and is worried that the image could be burned in. To prevent burn-in during long periods of inactivity, it would be very helpful if you could set a screen saver on the PS5. The only question is, how does it work and where do you find the setting for it?

PlayStation 5: Set up screen saver

Unlike on the PlayStation 4, at least there is There is no screen saver with the current firmware version of the PS5. On the PS4 you could activate the screen saver in the settings under “Sound and screen” and “Start screen saver” and set the time until the screen saver. This setting is currently missing on the PS5 and there is no screen saver activated by default that switches on after x minutes. So far, you can only set up automatic dimming for inactivity in the “Screen and Video” settings, which is set to 15 minutes by default, but can also be reduced to “After 5 minutes” or increased to “After 30 minutes”.

If you are worried that the PS5’s image will burn on the OLED TV, you can manually put the console into sleep mode if you are inactive for a long time, or you can set it to switch to sleep mode automatically. For the latter, you have to “set the time until sleep mode is activated on the PS5” in the settings under “System” and “Energy Saving”. Here you can then set the time after which the PS5 should automatically switch off or go into sleep mode during media playback and while playing. The following options are available to choose from.

  • After 2 minutes
  • After 1 hour
  • After 2 hours
  • After 3 hours
  • After 4 hours
  • After 5 hours
  • Do not put it into sleep mode

It probably will just be a matter of timeuntil they too PlayStation 5 gets a screen saver. As soon as something changes on the topic and you can also activate a screensaver on the new Sony console, we will of course add the information here.
