Doing This Will Make Your PS5 Faster 

This feature was recently added to safe mode with the new update. Enjoy!

Incoming: I don't have a ps5 comments.

Thank you for doing a video where we don't have to sit through 5 minutes of intros, life stories etc. Just straight to the point 👍

Can't wait for the Trick when we can actually add a NVM m.2 x4 Storage. :)

Cache is used to store things like web pages and images so they don't need to be downloaded every time you see it. for instance, your friends' profile pictures will be cached to it doesn't need to download them when you check your friends list. Clearing cache, while in some cases can speed up a system, doing it frequently will actually cause more slowdown. I'd say maybe clear it every couple years but not daily

At this point his PS5 is gonna be faster than usain bolt

Me looking at all these PS5 tips and tricks before getting it: Yes

Thanks, I have PS6 now.

Man no bullshit, quick explanations that are short and sweet. Subbed!

I actually got a ps5 5 days ago!!! My parents came home and surprised me with it and I used all of your tips and tricks !! I love it it’s so amazing 🙌

Waiting for mine to be delivered today. So you got one more subscriber. Your videos are very use full. Short and to the point. Cheers mate.

Well I think unplugging the power cable for a few seconds is still more convenient for a lot of people, but it's cool that they added the option! Also about the data base rebuilding don't forget that this is done automatically during most system updates.

I'm so glad I have a PS5.

Your video description be like my essays in high school.

Can't wait to get the "Explore" tab in my region!

I come back here every so often to do this because I keep forgetting how to clear the cache lol

Just another great tip from you as usual. Thank you sir. 👍🏾

I just got my ps5 a few days ago and these tips have been very helpful

I don't know why somebody would need this. It's an ssd so you don't need to rebuild for faster accesstimes and most importantly, you decrease the lifetime of the ssd by doing this very often 🤦‍♂️

I was wondering what happens if you clear clache Then John Glassock uploads Your tips are very helpful

What does he always say at the end of his videos? "I'll see you guys in the next video, ????????????????????????"

I still don't have a ps5

Could you share a trick of how to buy one? Please?

Is there any way to get rid of menu lag? I’ve rebuilt the database and cleared the cache multiple times and the menu still lags a noticeable amount

This is actually super useful I prolong the life of my PS4 a long time doing this

Who knows the square root of 76

I wish you would title your videos with actual descriptions of the settings you're changing or the tactics you're using. It would make it much easier to find your video when people search for "how to clear system cache". But I understand you're trying to lure people into the channel and to see what the surprise strategy is. 🧐

Now don't get me wrong, it is true it will technically make your PS5 faster, but guess what... It will make it faster for 5 minutes until that cache is back to how it was... You guys should google what cache is, or how it works and you'll understand that cache auto clears itself...

Thanks, mate. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one

son name glasscock? built different

Question, If I did experience that “your ps5 was not turned off properly” message, should I do it again..or just continue on. Thank you in advance!

Thank You GlassCock

Another great tip... thank you 😃

Thank you for your solid knowledge of ALL things PS. ☺️

Great video 👍 thanks my friend! I will keep this saved in my favourites for later use 😊

How do you know its faster? Did you conduct some type of speed test?

Just a simple note, make sure to eject any external hard drive that connected to your PS5 before doing something in Safe Mode I once try rebuilding database for the PS5 with my external hard drive connected, after that literally all of PS4 and PS5 game inside the drive was gone, including the PS Plus game, I tried to install all of it back but PS5 telling me it's already installed even though the external hard drive was empty Had to format the external hard drive and install all of the lost game, and trust me if you have bad internet, it'll be a long day

As always love your content keep it coming.

Do you have to safely remove your extended storage before doing this?

I will get a PS5 in 4 months

Omg thanks! Now I'm not seeing graphics pop in at random moments! Lol

Thanks! This just turned my download of Ghost of Tsushima from all day and now its just a few minutes

You've uploaded this tip so many times. I'm sure of it.

i see no point on doing this. total nonsense. yes if you had a crash of some sort it might be reasonable to get the ssd checked and trimmed. but the system will do that automatically, make your console faster ?? are you dellusional? is it not fast enough for you?

john, you can make a video about the ps5 to improve your internet, or like a dns recomendation? thx

Does NOT make anything faster AT ALL - It simply puts it back to how it was when first purchased - So an increase incorrect

What do you mean by faster like what will it exactly do?

almost all of this guys videos starts like a clickbait and you slowly realize that it just might not be a clickbait

This guy has some bangers! 🙏

Thanks for this. This comment is two years after this publication, but one thing to note is that when plugging the controller in it needs to be in the front USB port. I usually have my controller hardwired to the back USB port because I use the front one for my Bluetooth wireless headset transmitter, so when I tried this and got my PS5 into safe mode as directed here the controller wouldn’t connect via the rear USB port. Fortunately when I tried again plugging into the front USB port it worked fine.

Ngl i did this before you did the vid on unpluggin the ps5 john. How funny is that.

Thanks buddy very helpful

Can't wait the try this in 2069 when I finally get a ps5

is there any way to bypass the "who is using this controller" screen? IE when coming back from rest into a game.

Straight to the point. I like that. Thanks for the tips. I just subscribed

Here from 2024. Thank you so much!

Do you have any measurements proving a speed increase? What does it actually speed up?

Well, actually cache makes your system faster. It just occupies some space, not much, just some. Even if you delete the cache the system will rebuild it anyway.

Thanks so much this helped alot, i was scared that my hardware wasnt good or broken,

Wait.....you guys are having slow downs on the PS5 with a SSD drive?

I cross my fingers expecting useless information but was rewarded with an incredibly useful tip that is now stored in my favorites. Kind thanks for the excellent information.

I've tried unplugging my ps5 for over 20 minutes, cleared cache, and rebuilt the database, and it still takes way too long to startup. Anything else I can do at this point??

Thanks for the update! I’ll try on my PS5 tonight! 👍

Hey John. Great video . I just wanted to ask that do I have to necessarily need to this , because I do face a few second slow down upon starting the main menu page and my games run super fast . Just need to know if this would be necessary in my current situation. Thanks John Love you video I keep watching them . Cheers and good day 😀

bro i’m so happy i got a ps5

Whats the difference betweeen clearing cache and rebuilding data base?

This is good information......wait I don't have ps5

Thanks i love your vids.

Cant wait for tips and tricks of where to find a PS5 and/or on sale. If John could do that that would be awesome!

Please make a video on Redesign reports and leaks of ps5 ...

This man probably knows all the secrets of the ps6 already.

Just got mine at Xmas. So I’ve got a few years to go still.

Thanks for the tip Mr. Fragiledick

Me: database rebuild again! *skips ahead* wait what?

Can anyone tell me what extended storage I should use for the ps5?

nice really helped with pro also thanks man

Glasscock what the hell that’s not his real name, is it?

Is this the same as defragging on pc

Bro all the games you have I do…I thought that was my account for a quick second when you showed what was on the t.v. , that was freaky scared me for real

POV: you don't have a ps5 but you have a ps4 pro

No don’t do it rebuilding database will mess up the SSD the SSD helps clear up unused cache and files only should be used on HDD I never did this on my PS4 pro with internal SSD nor will I do it on my PS5 just a warning if you want your SSD on PS5 to last stay away from that option

I used to watch his channel every day but now I got a pc

Love ur videos

I finally got my ps5 🔥

Thanks a lot !

But a new ps5 cant have a full cache. It should be clear. So its only making sense if its used for quit a while. Can't imagine data trash from the sony ux will be deletet too

You done the exact same thing before where you unplug the console and leave it for 30 seconds, no?

What rebuild database do? It deletes my games?

Thanks but its faster already ☺️

What gaming monitor are you using for you ps5

I use to do this on ps4 just rebuild database was the same thing do it everyfew months

Okay.. Imagine needing to make the new gen even faster lmao...

Cached files exists to speed up load times. I don't understand why cleaning the cache would speed anything up.

For some reason when ever I turn the PlayStation 5 of through the button in the home screen as soon as it turns of it turns back on again on its own but when I click the off button on the ps5 itself it doesn’t happen

Haha i see that shit Seagate hdd you have, i rock a samsung T7 ssd BEAST. 1.38 GB a second transfer rate, LIGHTNING SPEED, MADE FOR PS5, upgrade ya shit bruv.
