It’s linked to the Control Center – the pop-up menu that appears on your Home Screen.
You typically access it by tapping the PS button once on your joypad.
It serves as a quick menu to let you switch between recent games, or activate Rest Mode, for example.
But many PlayStation gamers don’t realize that this menu can be customized for your own needs.
HOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR PS5 CONTROL CENTER
It takes just two taps to start editing your Control Center.
First, tap the PS button to pull up the quick menu.

You can also hide any unwanted icons by moving them to the Hidden Controls area.
Repeat this process until you’re happy with all of the locations.
When you’re done, press the options button again and you’ll be taken back to the original screen.
You can unhide a hidden icon at any time by going back into the Hidden Controls and moving it to the displayed controls area.
Sony warns that “some icons cannot be hidden,” so watch out for that.
There are two types of options that you’ll see in the Control Center.
The first is Cards, which might include Activity, Voice Chat and Broadcast, and Media.
Then there are other system-based Controls, including:
- Home
- Switcher
- Notifications
- Game Base
- Music
- Sound
- Mic
- Accessories
- Profile
- Power
It might be wise to bring Power closer to the start of the Control Center, as you’ll likely use it every time you play.
