Begin by navigating to the PS5’s settings menu. You can easily access this by selecting the gear icon located in the top-right corner of the PS5 dashboard.

  • Once in the settings menu, scroll down to find “Saved Data and Game/App Settings.” Select this option to access a range of settings related to your games and apps.
  • Within the “Saved Data and Game/App Settings” menu, locate “Automatic Updates.” Here, you’ll find the settings related to auto updates.
  • To disable auto updates for your PS5 games and apps, toggle off the “Auto-Download” option. This action prevents your console from automatically downloading updates for your games and apps.
  • If you want to further customize your update preferences, you can also disable the “Auto-Install in Rest Mode” option. This ensures that updates won’t be installed automatically when your PS5 is in rest mode.

Once you’ve made the desired changes to your auto update settings, be sure to save them. Your PS5 will now stop automatically updating your games and apps, giving you more control over when and how updates are installed.
