Variable update frequency function available this week

As previously announced, PlayStation 5 is configured to obtain variable update frequency support (VRR) in a next update, and although that timeline has been initially "in the coming months", it seems that it is now shortened "this week ». The PS5 system update will begin to be implemented globally in the coming days, but individual games must also receive updates to admit it. It is likely that the results vary depending on the TV that is being used exactly, as well as the specific visual modes of the games, but, in general, VRR will synchronize the system update frequency with the screen and offer less input delay and more graphics Fluids

«Today, we are pleased to announce that compatibility with variable update frequency (VRR) will begin to be implemented globally for PS5 players this week," says Hideaki Nishino, senior vice president of Playstation platform experience, as part of the advertisement. «In televisions and PC monitors compatible with HDMI 2.1 VRR, VRR dynamically synchronize the update frequency of the screen with the graphical output of the PS5 console. This improves visual performance for PS5 games by minimizing or deleting visual artifacts, such as picture rhythm problems and screen tear. "The gameplay in many PS5 titles feels more fluid since the scenes are represented without problems, the graphics are sharpened and the entry delay is reduced. PS5 games launched earlier can be optimized completely for VRR through a game patch and future games can include VRR compatibility in the launch ».

According to the announcement, the PS5 versions of the following video games will receive patches in the coming weeks to enable VRR compatibility, although it is not a complete list of titles configured to add VRR compatibility:

• Astro Game Room
• Call of Duty: Vanguardia
• CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS Cold War
• Destination 2.

• Special edition of Devil May Cry 5
• Dirt 5.
• God fallen
• Spider-Man of Marvel Remedado
• Spider-Man de Marvel: Thousands Morales
• RATCHET & CLANK: Rift Apart
• Resident Evil Village
• The country of wonders of Tiny Tina
• Rainbow Six Siege by Tom Clancy
• Midgard tribes

As noted above, VRR support will begin to be implemented globally for PlayStation 5 this week. The PlayStation 5 itself is already available with the version that contains a disk drive that costs $ 499, while the fully digital console costs $ 399, assuming you can find any of them in stock.
