You can set offline mode in PS4 or PS5. The steps are very easy to follow and you will gain privacy when playing your favourite videogames. It is also useful to hide your PS5 games library. Most of the users select this mode when they want to ignore several invitations from contacts. You will appear offline but you can still enjoy all the connectivity perks of your console.
How to appear offline in PS5
To set offline status in your PS5, open the main menu and select the profile icon in the upper right corner. Turn on the Appear offline option. To check if you are disconnected, look for the colored spot in your avatar. If yellow, you appear as Busy. Your contacts can see you that you are online but doing something important. If the spot has no color, you appear offline.
Normally, you can set your PS5 to offline mode from the main menu of a starting session. Select the Options menu and choose Appear offline from there. You can do this to avoid changing the status from your Avatar one time after another.
