Download method and game-card details
Under Sources & accounts → TorBox, Always use TorBox applies to new downloads. Orbit also remembers the last Direct/TorBox selection. Existing jobs keep their delivery method; unsupported files and account limits still need your choice. The PS5 service and Zero keep separate preferences.
Under Appearance, turn Scores and playtimes on game cards off to hide the extra card labels. Game details, Browse filters and sorting remain available. This setting is saved on the device.
In Zero, Devices → Connected apps controls the opt-in local integration API. You can approve a connection request, create a token manually, or revoke an app. See connecting another app.
Computer or PS5?
In Zero, This computer labels computer downloads, account sessions, retry preferences, the download folder and cache cleanup. On this PS5 labels the connected console’s shutdown controls. PS5 storage information describes drives connected to the console, not your computer.
Changing Zero’s connections or accounts does not change the PS5 service’s settings. Use Orbit Store to configure direct PS5 downloads.
Automatic PS5 shutdown
Open Downloads → Automatic PS5 shutdown. Enable it and choose All downloads or one download under Wait for. The same selector is available in native Orbit, the browser and Zero. You can also choose Shut down when finished on a PS5 download and confirm. Orbit shows Automatic shutdown scheduled.; the same item then offers Cancel automatic shutdown.
Choosing a download sets the job to wait for; it does not allow Orbit to turn off the PS5 while other work remains. Downloads, transfers, installations and active file operations must finish. Paused or failed work, pending installation checks and a disconnected busy Zero computer keep shutdown blocked. Installation failure cancels the schedule.
When the console is ready, a 60-second countdown appears. Cancel it from any connected Orbit app. Shutdown is off by default, and completed history does not trigger it after restarting Orbit.
Updating Orbit
Open Updates & startup. From native 1.12.2 onward, Update Orbit can download both components in one FFPKG, then offer Close and reopen. Reopen the app to start its bundled service; saving the package alone does not activate the update. Browser and separately managed ELF users retain the service restart or manual launch controls. See one-step updates.
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 use their own language.
