PlayStation 5 is receiving Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), a feature that allows the refresh rate to adjust in real-time on supported screens and games. This feature improves visual performance by reducing frame pacing issues, input lag, and screen tearing.
Once the VRR patch is installed on your PS5, it will be automatically enabled if your console is connected to a supported display output, i.e., HDMI 2.1 VRR-compatible TVs and monitors. If you want to disable it for any reason, you can do so from the Screen and Video tab in the system settings.
Moreover, you can also enable VRR to unsupported games for minor improvements to visual quality. Here's a list of games mentioned in the PlayStation blog for which VRR support will be added first:
- Astro’s Playroom
- Call of Duty: Vanguard
- Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
- Destiny 2
- Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition
- DIRT 5
- Godfall
- Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
- Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
- Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
- Resident Evil Village
- Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
- Tribes of Midgard
