SONY PS5 CONSOLE TO SOON GET VARIABLE REFRESH RATE SUPPORT!

Sony has now launched its much-awaited next-gen PS5 gaming consoles. Back in September, the console was up for pre-order but the stock sold out quickly. On November 12, Sony began the sale of its console in the following markets – US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea. The sale was then expanded to the UK and the rest of Europe on November 19. The next generation of consoles of course brings several enhancements and additions and that’s true for the rival Microsoft Xbox Series X.

One such feature was the Variable Refresh Rate. While Microsoft brought the feature out-of-the-box, that’s not the case with Sony PS5. Sony has now finally updated all of us on the availability and lack of the Variable Refresh Rate or VRR feature.The company has recently updated its PS5 FAQ section on its blog and thankfully, the FAQ now talks about the VRR feature. According to the blog, Sony PS5 supports Variable Refresh Rate or VRR through HDMI 2.1. For some unknown reasons, Sony decided to not bring the feature out-of-the-box to its next-gen consoles. To fix this, Sony will unlock the VRR feature via a future system software update. Sadly, there is no concrete timeline on when the update will officially roll out.
