**1. The Quick Menu Method:**

* A menu will appear at the bottom of your screen. This is the Quick Menu.
* Navigate to the 'Accessories' option (it usually looks like a controller icon).
* Select your DualSense controller and then choose 'Turn Off'.
**2. The PlayStation 5 System Menu:**
* From the main PlayStation 5 home screen, go to 'Settings' (the gear icon).
* Navigate to 'Accessories' then 'Controller'.
* Choose 'Communication Method' and select 'Use USB Cable' (temporary solution)
*Select 'Power off' and your controller is off.
**3. The Automatic Shut-Off:**
*If you forget to manually turn it off, don't sweat it! The PS5 has a handy auto-shutoff feature.
*By default, it will power down after a period of inactivity, saving battery life and ensuring your controller is ready for your next gaming session. You can adjust the inactivity timer in the PS5 settings.
