For me they both have pros and cons. For Xbox, the quick resume holds itself regardless of power state and can be applied to multiple titles. But whilst the PS5 only holds one game in a quick start state and requires sleep mode, it is far more reliable when it comes to games that contact servers - for example AC Valhalla etc. It also has the occasionally useful resume activity cards. Swings and roundabouts.
I have this problem a lot but it only started happening when I upgraded my TV to LG C2. It will sometimes turn on out of rest mode only to tell me it's going into rest mode and o have to get up to physically hit the on button.
For me too.
I have been reading about problems with rest mode since launch and i had mine turning off a couple of times aswell, i stopped using it alltogether years ago.
This is most likely your issue. I remember people having issues with this at launch. Some drives need to be stopped before they're unplugged. It also happens when the SSD expansion heats up if you're playing a game off of it and go into rest mode. That's why thermal pads are needed for the bay.
Turn it on. Make sure it's up to date. Shut it down completely. Pull the plug for 30 seconds. Plug it back in and test standby. If that doesn't work make sure you have a compatible SSD if you have one hooked up. Otherwise contact support. It shouldn't be doing that and hopefully they have a solution.
I have an older TV which the power button is hard to use and the TV lags on turning on.. so if i turn on the PS first then try and turn on the TV (with difficult power button) the act of turning the TV off (and on again) typically shuts down the PS. (I make sure the TV is on before I power up the PS).
Have you got any storage devices hanging off the back via a USB drawing excess power? Or do you have a NVME SSD installed in the console? Or are these network games that have been paused, with your router losing internet connection while the game was in rest mode.
I've left my console on rest mode since released and never had any issues at all.
Yes, and i'm sure many other millions of people didnt had problem neither, exactly like many people had a surviving launch xbox360, it's not something that happen to everyone.
Sounds like it. I love Quick Resume on Series X because I never need to use rest mode.
Then, it has been unstable since launch FOR YOU. Not for the other 99.9% of people.
Trying disabling CEC on your ps5. That might be turning it off completely when your tv turns off.
You just need a fast reasearch on the internet to see that it happened to other people, spoiler for you, not everyone that owns a ps5 post on gaf.
Yeah i guess some people have faulty Ps5s.
If I had to bet it's the HDMI CEC. I had to turn it off for an issue I had where when turning the TV off after using a different input source the PS5 would turn itself on, immediately turning the TV on again. It was like it wasn't distinguishing between power on and power off, which could have been my TV sending mixed signals, but the PS5 was the only console doing it. When I was looking for ways to stop that I saw a few posts in the OLED gaming reddit that described your issue with some LG TV's where the system would go back to sleep immediately after turning it on. Not sure what kind of TV you have but disabling CEC fixed it for those folks.
It’s an LG C2
If you ever connected your controller to something else via Bluetooth, make sure that device has disconnected / forgotten the controller. Also reset the controller. I had this issue and finally realized that half the time it was connecting to a tablet upstairs instead of the system.
I'll give that a go, I do occasionally get a message asking me to re register a device but I could never figure out what device it was talking about
