Overview
- Bluepoint’s October 16 update introduced a Power Saver option that targets roughly 30 fps and reduces measured power use from about 224W to around 98W with visibly lower resolution.
- Forum posts show a Low Power leaf icon on the PS5 dashboard and an in-game toggle for Demon’s Souls, providing visual confirmation of the new setting.
- Sony frames the rollout as part of its Road to Zero sustainability program targeting net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.
- Reporters and tech insiders say the results could indicate groundwork for a rumored PS6 handheld, though no portable PlayStation has been confirmed.
- Wccftech reports additional PS5 titles are expected to support the mode, naming Death Stranding 2, as community reaction ranges from excitement to concerns over Series S–style development constraints.
