Yup, you can put your PS5 into Rest Mode while downloading games, and they’ll continue downloading in the background. Just make sure you’ve enabled downloading in Rest Mode in the settings!

No, your downloads will stop if you turn it off completely.

Yes, but make sure it’s in Rest Mode, not completely powered off. That way, your downloads continue without interruption!

I do it all the time! Just set the PS5 to Rest Mode, and it keeps downloading while you take a break. Easy peasy.
