What Is PlayStation 4’s Safe Mode?

PlayStation 4’s Safe Mode loads your system only using the bare essential files. This allows the console to isolate problematic files so you can resolve your errors. In this mode, you can rebuild your system database, manually install software updates, and even reset your console. Note that wireless functions do not work in safe mode, so you’ll need to have a USB cord handy to use your controller.

When you’ve finished your tasks, you can exit Safe Mode and reboot your PS4 in normal mode.

How to Enter Safe Mode on Your PlayStation 4

You can boot your PS4 in Safe Mode using a button on the console itself.

To do that, first, power off your PS4. You can do this by holding down the Power button on the console for three seconds. When your PS4’s light stops blinking, the console has fully turned off.

Press the Power button on the PS4.

After powering down the PS4, press and hold down the Power button on it for about eight seconds. Let go of the Power button when the console makes the second beep (the first beep is made when you press the Power button).

Connect your controller to your PS4 using a USB cable as you can’t use the wireless mode when in safe mode. On your PS4-connected screen, you now see various options.

Here’s what each option does:

Once you’ve finished your tasks, reboot your PS4 in normal mode using the “Restart PS4” option.

And that’s all there is to booting your PS4 in safe mode and using various options in it. Enjoy!
