The safe mode PS5 allows you boot your console only major features enabled. In Safe Mode we will have a menu with different options that will help us solve possible problems that we find on the PS5 including being able to reset it from this menu.

Sometimes we can find problems updating our PS5 and that is why one option is to update the PS5 manually from Safe Mode.
