Find out how to check notifications and how to mute or delete notifications on your PlayStation®5 console.
Notifications help you stay informed — know when you receive an invitation or a friend request, a game you purchased is ready to play, an add-on goes on sale, and more.
To mute all notifications temporarily, go to the control center and select Notifications, and then turn on Do Not Disturb.
Pop-ups for notifications won't appear on screen until you log out of or restart your PS5 console, or until you turn off Do Not Disturb.
You can also highlight notifications, and then press the square button to quickly delete them one at a time.
To configure notification settings, go to the home screen and select Settings > Notifications:
