How to turn off PS5 menu music

The music that plays on your PS5's main menu can either be appreciated or distracting. If it's the latter for you, here's how to turn it off altogether.

The PS5's main menu has a lot of useful widgets, information, and all of your games in a nice row for you to pick from. But it also has menu music that plays, which can either be soothing or irritating, depending on your tastes. Luckily, it can be toggle on or off at any time. So whether you've just purchased a new PS5, or you've perhaps just grown tired of hearing the music, here's how you can turn off your PS5's menu music.

When you're ready to turn off your PS5's menu music, follow the steps below.

Step 1: Navigate to Settings by clicking the gear in the top right corner of the main menu.

Step 4: Scroll down to the General tab.

Step 5: Select Home Screen Music and toggle it off.

Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.

Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.

Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.

Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
