As Sony points out in its privacy policy, the PS5 collects some data about you by default, potentially including everything from your IP address to the content you download, which games you play, the dates and times you use the console, and even the things you do within games published by the company. There’s no way to avoid most of that data collection, but you can minimize the scope of it and get some peace of mind in the process.
Though you can’t prevent Sony from recording a portion of your Voice Chats, as mentioned above, you can make sure the microphone on the DualSense controller is turned off by default. This, if nothing else, may offer some reassurance that you don’t have a hot microphone always around during your gaming sessions.
By default, the mic is always listening and available, but there’s a menu option to change that. After turning on the console, head to Settings > Sound > Microphone > Microphone Status When Logged In and toggle that setting to “Mute.” Of course, Sony will still record Voice Chats when you turn the microphone back on and join one, so keep that in mind.
