On March 23, Hideaki Nishino, senior vice president of SIE platform experience, released the system update information of PS4/5 on the PS Blog. In addition to the previously exposed voice control and game party tweaks, the PS5 will support variable refresh rates in the coming months.
Officials say the variable refresh rate will eliminate visual artifacts such as frame cadence issues and screen tearing to enhance the visual performance of PS5 games, while some game experiences that require lower input latency will also be improved. In addition, this feature is also applied to games that do not currently support variable refresh rates to improve game screen quality.
At the end of the article, it was officially confirmed that as the feature came further, they would share more details, and some of the subsequent games would be patched to support the variable refresh rate mode.
