If you’re like most people, you probably spend a lot of time in passive mode on your PlayStation 4. This is where you’re left alone in the game, without any control over how the game plays. There are a few ways to escape this mode, but they all require some effort and some knowledge about the PlayStation 4’s features. Here are three tips to help you get out of passive mode on PS4:

  1. Disable Sony’s “PS4 Now” feature: This is a feature that allows you to access your games and applications without having to go into active mode first. By disabling “PS4 Now,” you’ll be able to get back into active mode as soon as possible if something happens that requires your attention.
  2. Use an external controller: If you don’t have an internal controller, there are plenty of external controllers that work with the PlayStation 4. These controllers let you use different functions than what your internal controller can do, which will help you get back into active mode more quickly.
  3. Use a task manager: One way to get out of passive mode is to use a task manager like PCManage or TaskMate. This will help keep track of all the tasks that need to be done in order for you to be able to play your game or application again.
