A standard UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) can power a PS4, but ensure it has a sufficient wattage rating. Check the PS4's power requirements (generally around 150 watts) and choose a UPS that offers at least this capacity plus additional headroom for safe operation. Look for a UPS with AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) to protect against power surges and fluctuations, ensuring your PS4 remains safe during power issues.
