DNS stands for Domain Name System. On your PS4, it helps translate website names into IP addresses, so you can connect to online services and games without hiccups.

Hot take: Manual DNS settings on the PS4 can sometimes improve your internet speed, but I say leave it on automatic unless you know what you're doing.

DNS on your PS4 is basically the system that helps it understand web addresses. Without it, your console would be lost in cyberspace!

Think of DNS as a phonebook for the internet on your PS4鈥攊t tells your console where to go to find specific websites and services. Just set it and forget it!
