IDU (abbreviated from Individual Display Unit) is a mode designed for Kiosk/Demo PS5s meant to demonstrate different game demos, features, etc. usually found in game/electronic stores. On the PS4, it is automatically activated and all content is automatically transferred by using a PS4 IDU disc. This could be the same situation for the PS5, however no discs have been found/confirmed, as of today.
UPDATE: a console that has used the IDU disc has been found! Although we don't have the disc, we can be sure the disc exists! the app size seems to be 3.87Mb

Interface[edit | edit source]
- Seems similar to a game hub, with quick launch demos, information, icon and videos (trailer). When there is no bundle installed, a splash screen with "Content unavailable" is displayed.
- Just like PS4, IDU mode restricts both application launching and PlayStation Network features.
- Just like PS4, by activating IDU Mode it will flash a value to sflash/NOR that will prevent the user to remove it if reinstalling the firmware or updating the firmware.
Internal Title ID[edit | edit source]
- Inside PS5's firmware, 10 different Title IDs referring to IDU have been found.
