UPS for PS4 to be used only for switch overs is probably the safest bet.But UPS`s like APC , not regular ones, but bad ass large ones with online/offline configuration etc which cost around 150K to 250K can be used for longer game-plays.

Proof: Industries IT specially are running very sensitive equipment on UPS`s these days but mostly tagged along with generators backup.

For smaller ups`s , switch over usage is probably the safest.

And when I say UPS , I only mean APC ups. Not alfa , not desi and not others .

Please share the details of your APC UPS that you're using for your PS4 and TV with me. I'd like to make the purchase too.

Tell me about the capacity and the model no., the batteries etc. Also, what would you recommend if I only wish to safely turn off the PS4 in case of a sudden power outage. I'd need only 10 to 15 minutes of backup.

Get back to me as soon as possible, thanks!

If anyone other than madSam has the answers, please feel free to help out.

Only Branded APC ups is a way to go for PS4, either single or double battery which ever suits ur budget.
Dont go for local, Chinese Homage etc.
I never had a problem with APC and I don't remember my model exactly.
Do calculate ur wattage usage keeping in mind ur screen over which u play.

    Personally i see only one game that should be truly deserving of GOTY title this year (if it delivers). And that's KCD:II

    The gameplay is generic & outdated in that game. And it's 5 hour campaign is too short to enjoy.

    About Hellblade 2, I just watched the story on a YT channel out of curiosity and I think it has the Hallmark of a GOTY this year. While many criticize the game and I also don't like this genre of game, I believe the story and visuals looks like a cenimatic masterpiece.
    It may win the "best visuals" category, but that's about it. A GOTY contender needs to nail all aspects (Story, Gameplay, Visuals, etc)

    Just downloaded Farm Simulator 2024. The game is available for free on Epic fo limited time. I always wondered how our food is harvested. This game endorsed by the UN will reveal the process of farming.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    Hellblade 2 has a lower peak player count than Redfall 😬
    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.
