PS5 owners are just realizing little-known ‘pin trick’ lets you play games even faster – check your console now
A SIMPLE PlayStation 5 trick can instantly improve your console.
If you want to get into your games as fast as possible, there’s a Home Screen hack you need to know.
When you’ve had a PS5 for a few years, you’ll likely have bagged a load of games.
If you want to lock one of those to your Home Screen, it’s totally possible – and very easy.
Simply navigate to a tile that you want to pin on the PlayStation Home Screen.
Then press the Options button on your DualSense controller.
From there, you’ll be able to activate Keep On Home.
That way you can dive into your favorite video games as fast as possible.
Control Center
That’s not the only part of your PS5 experience you should customize.
You can re-organize the Control Center on your PS5.
That’s the pop-up panel that appears on your screen, serving as a quick-menu to switch between recent games or activate Rest Mode, for example.
First tap the PS button to launch the quick menu.
Then hover over an icon and tap the options button on your joypad.
This will allow you to select any icon on the Control Center and shuffle it to a different position.
Once you’ve chosen a position, press X to lock it in.
It’s also possible to hide unwanted icons by dropping them in Hidden Controls.
Repeat this process until you’re happy with all of the positions.
You’ll find two types of options in the Control Center.
First up is Cards, which might include Activity, Voice Chat and Broadcast, and Media.
And then there are other system-based Controls, including:
- Home
- Switcher
- Notifications
- Game Base
- Music
- Sound
- Mic
- Accessories
- Profile
- Power
Having Power closer to the start of the Control Center might be a good option.
