The latest PS5 system update is now available to download, although it’s worth pointing out that the addition of VRR support for 1440p does not include freesync monitors.
That’s at least according to Reddit user Loldimorti, who posted the following message in regards to why freesync monitors are not supported:
The reason being that most 1440p monitors that advertise variable refresh rates will only support HDMI 2.0 and offer VRR via AMD Freesync. This is because HDMI 2.0 is all you need for 1440p gaming at 120fps. While this works perfectly fine on other AMD devices like PCs with AMD GPUs or the Xbox it is NOT yet supported on PS5 which seems to require HDMI 2.1 VRR.
The new PS5 update adds a bunch of key features for Sony’s latest home console, including Discord chat.
