PS5 users are only just finding a seriously handy hidden feature

"Mind blown" doesn't quite cover it.

PlayStation 5 users have taken to Reddit in their hundreds to share the handy hidden features that changed the way they game - like the fact that holding down the orange mute button mutes all audio and chat at once.

These days, the term "life hack" is thrown about with little care or consideration. I feel like we're drowning in three minute videos that involve glitter and a glue gun for unscrewing a tricky pickle jar, or, the ones that are shared are so obvious that they negate their own helpfulness.

Kratos has it made - an axe that returns to him after he lobs it at an unfortunate soul. The ultimate Pinterest inspiration. Check out the story trailer for God of War Ragnarök below!

As well as that useful mute all audio and chat hint, there's a range of other tricks that could save you... seconds. But they're seconds that you'll never get back. "If you turn on the PS5 with a controller it goes to the games tab. If you turn on the PS5 with the media remote it opens the media tab," said adhamhfoox.

"Did you know, when you are on the PS5 Home Screen or on the PS5 PS Store, if you press the triangle button, the “Search” (magnifying glass) icon will instantly become highlighted?" added Wilde_SIE. This one I will pocket into my own practices because I never remember where the "search" feature is. Scroll for yourself here, but here's the top tip that will be the most valuable to you all. "If you double tap the PlayStation button on PS5, you can easily bring up the party you’re in if you’re currently in a party, or if you’re using Apple Music or Spotify you can also be taken to that menu depending on which is open," contributed TheMegaCole. Cheers.
