How to disable pop up notifications on the PS5

We’ve all been there. You’re in the heat of a multiplayer match, the timer is ticking down, you’re the last man standing, and as soon as the enemy comes into view a notification pops up and distracts you just long enough for the enemy to catch you off guard. Or, perhaps even worse, you’re playing a single-player game and come to a particularly dramatic or serious moment only for the mood to be shattered when you get a friend request. Notifications can be helpful, but we almost never want to see them when we’re playing our games and trying to get immersed.
