Thanks to PS4 System Update 2.5, games also suspend when you use Rest Mode. If you buy a game online, you can tell your PS4 to install it–if it’s in Rest Mode, it will automatically install it. It can download game updates and operating system updates in the background, so your games are always up-to-date.
When you turn it on again, it will power on in a second or two rather than going through a 30 second or longer boot-up process. In Rest Mode, your PlayStation 4 isn’t fully shut down. RELATED: Should You Shut Down, Sleep, or Hibernate Your Laptop?
