Sony will be implementing PS5 VRR in a future system software update, the hardware manufacturer announced on the PlayStation Blog today.
The news comes following confirmation of the release of PS5 update 22.01-05.00.00.40, which arrives today with a wealth of new features for Sony’s latest home console. Beyond that however, VRR is coming later down the line.
Here’s the full blurb from Sony:
We’re also pleased to share that Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) is planned to release on PS5 in the coming months. On HDMI 2.1-compatible TVs and PC monitors, VRR dynamically syncs the refresh rate of the display to the PS5 console’s graphical output.
This enhances visual performance for PS5 games by minimizing or eliminating visual artifacts, such as frame pacing issues and screen tearing.
Gameplay in many PS5 titles feels smoother as scenes render instantly, graphics look crisper, and input lag is reduced. Previously released PS5 games can be fully optimized for VRR through a game patch and future games may include VRR support at launch.
