To put your PS4 in Safe Mode, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Make sure your PS4 is completely turned off, not in Rest Mode. Hold the power button for about three seconds until the power indicator blinks and the console fully powers down.

• Once the PS4 is off, press and hold the power button again. Do not release the button after the first beep; keep holding it until you hear a second beep, which should occur around seven seconds after the first one.

• Connect your DualShock 4 controller to the PS4 using a USB cable (wireless will not work in Safe Mode). When the Safe Mode menu appears, press the PS button on your controller to use the menu.

• Your PS4 will now be in Safe Mode, allowing you to troubleshoot or access various recovery options.

Key Points to Remember

• Only use Safe Mode options if you need to fix a problem, as some choices can erase data.
• If your PS4 doesn’t enter Safe Mode, double-check that it’s fully off and try again, or check your cables.

• To exit Safe Mode, simply select "Restart System" from the Safe Mode menu.

Following these steps will allow you to safely access the PS4 Safe Mode menu for troubleshooting or system recovery purposes.
