So, tag along.
Highlight or go over to the game or utility you want to close.
Press theOptions buttonon your controller and select theClose GameorClose Appoption.
Looks easy, right?
The problem may occur if the games are stuck or freeze.
There is a way to wrap up the game in that situation.
I have explained that later in this article.
