The PS4, despite not being as up to date as the PS5, is still a pretty great console.
It does come with a few annoying traits though, and knowing how to deal with this is really important to getting the most out of it.
One of the best features is the notifications you can set up whenever someone comes online, or you get a trophy, or something is installed, or you get a message, or your friends join a part, or there's a game alert.
Wow, that's a lot of notifications, maybe it'd be good if you could just turn them all off instead and relax.
