2. While playing a classic game, press the Options button on your DualShock 4 or DualSense to bring up the emulation menu.

• Square Pixels
• Wide Zoom (Stretched)

The Native Resolution option will display the game at its original resolution, which means that the display area will be extremely small if you are using a 4K television set.

The 4:3 for 16:9 option is the most accurate if you have a normal 4K television set. The 4:3 for 16:10 option is for slightly wider screens.

7. Once you are done making your selection, you can press the Options button to return to the game and view the new aspect ratio.

Shutting down the PS5 can be somewhat cumbersome, however, as you have to go through multiple steps. So, is there a shortcut to turning off your console? You can find out in this article at Seeking Tech.

What is the fastest way to shut down the PS5?

Currently, there is no shortcut when it comes to turning off your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition system. While you can unplug the power cord from the system, you will end up potentially damaging it.

Instead, the fastest way to shut down is by doing the following:

• Press the PS button on the DualSense in order to bring up the Command Center quick menu.
• From the Command Center, navigate to the bottom row and then all the way to the right in order to select the Power option.

Make sure you hold the buttons for at least three seconds; otherwise, the console will be put in to Rest Mode instead.

Keep in mind that Sony could always add a shutdown shortcut for the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition in the future to make it faster to turn off the systems. Therefore, we recommend that you keep you console up-to-date by doing the latest firmware. In addition to potentially adding new feature, new firmware versions may also help fix any system-related bugs and/or improve its performance.
