Need help to set up PS5 – any tips or common mistakes to avoid? or What’s the easiest way to set up P

Congrats on the PS5! The initial set up ps5 process usually takes about 20-30 mins if everything goes smooth.

But if there’s a big system update, it could take longer. Pro tip: connect to Ethernet if you can—Wi-Fi downloads might slow things down.

Also, skip the disc setup until after the system updates. And don’t forget to enable rest mode downloads so updates happen faster in the future.
