# Settings

Source: https://orbitstore.dev/guides/ps4/settings/ · Updated 2026-11-15

Open **App settings** in Orbit Store’s default Store layout, or **Settings** in Crossbar, Cinema and Panorama. The TV app and the browser use the same categories. [Orbit Zero](https://orbitstore.dev/guides/ps4/orbit-zero/) has a **Settings** entry in all four layouts too.

## Where to find each control

| Category | Controls |
| --- | --- |
| Downloads | Simultaneous downloads, connections per download, automatic retries and automatic PS4 shutdown. In Zero, also where downloads run: on the computer or the PS4. |
| Storage & cleanup | Default drive, available space, archive and package cleanup, and what happens to files when you clear history. Zero has its computer download folder and computer cache here. |
| Sources & accounts | The sources you use, plus Archive.org, Vikingfile and TorBox accounts. |
| Devices | Pairing your phone or computer, connection details and **Enable Orbit Zero**. Zero has its pairing and **Connected apps** here. |
| Appearance | Interface, language, motion and the selected layout’s options. |
| Notifications | PS4 and ntfy notifications. |
| Game catalogue | Catalogue version and refresh. |
| Updates & startup | Updates, restart and start-up controls. The TV app links to the browser for payload-manager and auto-start setup. |
| Diagnostics & about | Versions and diagnostic reports. |
| Support Orbit | Optional support link and QR code. |

Each layout shows the same categories. Your saved choices stay when you switch layouts.

## Automatic PS4 shutdown

Open **Downloads → Automatic PS4 shutdown**. Turn it on and choose **All downloads** or one download under **Wait for**. You can also choose **Shut down when finished** on a download and confirm. Orbit shows **Automatic shutdown scheduled.**; the same item then offers **Cancel automatic shutdown**.

Choosing a download sets the one to wait for; it doesn’t let Orbit turn off the PS4 while other work remains. Downloads, Orbit Zero transfers, installations and active file operations must finish. Paused or failed work, pending installation checks and a busy Zero computer that disconnected keep shutdown on hold, and a failed installation cancels the plan.

When the PS4 is ready, a **60-second countdown** appears. Cancel it from the TV app, the browser or a connected Orbit Zero. Shutdown is off by default, and downloads that finished before Orbit restarted don’t trigger it. See [Automatic shutdown](https://orbitstore.dev/guides/ps4/shutdown/).

## Updating Orbit

Open **Updates & startup**. **Update Orbit** downloads the TV app package, which includes the newest download service, then offers **Close and reopen**. Reopen the app to start its new service; saving the package alone doesn’t activate the update. Browser and separately started ELF users keep the **Restart Orbit** and manual start controls. See [one-step updates](https://orbitstore.dev/guides/ps4/getting-started/#one-step-updates).

## Orbit Zero’s settings

In Orbit Zero, **This computer** marks settings for the computer: its downloads, accounts, retries, download folder and cache cleanup. **On this PS4** marks the connected PS4’s shutdown controls. Storage shown for the PS4 means drives connected to the PS4, not your computer.

Changing Zero’s connections or accounts doesn’t change the settings on your PS4. Use Orbit on the PS4 for downloads the PS4 runs itself.

**Devices → Connected apps** in Zero turns on its optional local API for other apps. See [Connect another app to Orbit Zero](https://orbitstore.dev/guides/ps4/orbit-zero-integrations/).

## Language

Choose **Appearance → Language**. Orbit supports 26 interface languages, including Arabic with a mirrored layout and Japanese, Chinese and Korean fonts. Follow the system language or choose one for this device. Game names and provider pages may keep their own language.
