PS5 gets one of its most requested functions this week, but only a few games will top it

Many users have been requesting PlayStation support for VRR technology almost since its launch.

Since the launch of PlayStation 5, there is a feature that has been highly requested by console users: VRR technology support. Sony promised from the very beginning that it would come with an update, and this week the Japanese company will finally be able to deliver on its promise, as the Japanese company announced.

“We’re excited to announce that Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support will begin rolling out to PS5 players around the world this week.” Hideaki NishinoThe vice president of platform management and planning at PlayStation has confirmed the first games to use the feature, including several exclusive titles from the brand.

These games will need to download a patch to take advantage of this technology, which is only available on certain monitors and TVs. “As an additional option, You can also apply VRR to unsupported PS5 games.. This feature may improve the video quality of some games. If unexpected visual effects occur, you can disable this option at any time.”

The inclusion of VRR promises to make the gaming experience more fluidAs Nishino explains, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) allows you to optimize the visual performance of your video games by dynamically synchronizing the display’s refresh rate with the PS5’s graphics output, minimizing or eliminating visual distortions such as frame skipping and tearing. “The gameplay experience for many PS5 games is more fluid, as the stages are handled seamlessly, graphics are sharper and input lag has been reduced,” the PlayStation executive elaborates.
