PlayStation 揭秘：玩家关机 PS5 人数远少于休眠模式

Half of PlayStation 5 users bypass rest mode, opting for a complete system shutdown instead, according to Sony. This surprising statistic, revealed by Cory Gasaway (Sony Interactive Entertainment's VP of game, product, and player experiences) in an interview with Stephen Totilo, highlights a significant user preference divergence. The revelation emerged during a discussion about the design of the PS5's Welcome Hub, introduced in 2024.

The Welcome Hub, born from a PlayStation hackathon, aims to unify the user experience despite varying preferences. Its design acknowledges the 50/50 split on rest mode usage, tailoring the initial screen to either the PS5 Explore page (for US users) or the last played game (for international users). This approach provides a more consistent starting point and a customizable interface.

While no single reason explains the widespread avoidance of rest mode, anecdotal evidence suggests potential issues. Some users report internet connectivity problems when rest mode is enabled, preferring a fully powered-on console for downloads. Others appear to have no such issues. Regardless of the cause, Gasaway's insights shed light on the considerations behind the PS5's user interface design. The 50% figure underscores the importance of catering to diverse user behaviors, even for seemingly standard features like rest mode.
