How to disable PS4 background music
Sony’s PlayStation 4 (along with the high-end PS4 Pro) are this generation’s best-selling consoles with a combined 92 million sales to date. It’s not hard to see why either, with a combination of powerful hardware, a simplistic user experience and a whole host of high-quality, engagingplatform-exclusive gamesincludingGod of Warand the upcomingDeath Stranding.
But while the PS4 is the winner amongst current-gen consoles, it’s not perfect.

The good news is that there’s a way to disable the PS4 background music, and it’s so simple to do that you’ll question why you’ve spent the past six years listening to the same annoying music over and over again.
