Nope, it won't download anything if it's completely turned off. Stick to Rest Mode for that.

Yep, the PS5 can download games when it's in Rest Mode. Just make sure the settings allow downloads in Rest Mode!

From my experience, switching to Rest Mode mid-download keeps everything going smoothly. Just check your settings to be sure.
