If you’re a PlayStation 4 owner, you know that the controller is a key part of the console experience. However, sometimes situations arise where you may not have access to a controller, but still need to turn off your PS4. Fortunately, there are several ways to turn off your PS4 without a controller.

Method 1: Using the Power Button on the Console

The power button on the console is the most direct method of turning off your PS4 without a controller. To use this method, simply follow these steps:

1. Locate the power button on the front of your PS4 console.

2. Press and hold the power button for at least seven seconds. You should hear two beeps. The first beep will occur when you initially press the button, and the second will occur after about seven seconds.

3. Once you hear the second beep, release the power button. Your PS4 will turn off.

Method 2: Using Your TV Remote

Another option for turning off your PS4 without a controller is to use your TV remote. To do this, you’ll need to have your PS4 connected to your TV through HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).

1. Press the “Menu” button on your TV remote.

2. Navigate to the “HDMI” input that your PS4 is connected to.

3. Select “PS4” from the list of HDMI devices.

4. Press the “Power” button on your TV remote to turn off your PS4.

Note that not all TVs support HDMI-CEC, so this method may not work for everyone.

Method 3: Using the PlayStation App

If you have the PlayStation app installed on your smartphone or tablet, you can use it to turn off your PS4.

1. Open the PlayStation app on your smartphone or tablet.

2. Tap the “Connect to PS4” icon.

3. Select your PS4 from the list of devices.

4. Tap the “Power” icon.

5. Select “Turn Off PS4.”

Method 4: Using a Harmony Remote

If you have a Harmony remote, you can use it to turn off your PS4.

1. Press the “Devices” button on your Harmony remote.

2. Select “PlayStation 4” from the list of devices.

3. Press and hold the “Off” button until the PS4 turns off.

In conclusion, there are several ways to turn off your PS4 without a controller. Whether you use the power button on the console, your TV remote, the PlayStation app, or a Harmony remote, you can always ensure that your PS4 is properly turned off even if you don’t have a controller handy.
