Video Transcript:
For all that the PS4 did well, it wouldn't let you appear offline from the moment you logged in. There was always a few seconds where you would show offline before disappearing, which was enough time for anyone you were trying to hide from to see you were actually available. The PS5, however, fixes that problem, and lets you appear offline from the moment you log in. Additionally, your PS5 status will stay as offline until you change it. Changing your status to appear offline on your PS5 only takes a few minutes.

Now let's walk through the steps to appear offline on your PS5.

Step 1. Turn on your PlayStation 5. You'll land on the Welcome Back to PlayStation login screen.

Step 2. Highlight the profile you want to log in with and then press the "Menu" button on your PS5 DualSense controller. A menu appears next to your profile.

Step 3. Choose "Appear Offline" in the menu. You'll log in to your PS5 appearing offline automatically. You can verify your status by looking at your PS5 profile icon in the top corner of your home screen, where you'll see a circle made with dashed lines rather than a solid green circle, which would indicate that you're showing as online. Additionally, until you change your status, you'll continue to automatically appear offline whenever you log in to your PS5 going forward until you change your status.
