Sony recently released a software update for the PlayStation 5 (PS5), and one of the new features is support for 1440p resolution.
This update appears to be targeting PS5 gamers who use monitors to play games, as this 1440p resolution is usually on monitors and not TVs, we quoted GSM Arena.
But unfortunately at 1440p, the PS5 only supports a 60Hz and 120Hz refresh rate without a variable refresh rate (VRR). For now, VRR is only supported in 1080p and 2160p resolutions.
This 1440p resolution support has previously been tested in the beta version of the firmware. This release may have something to do with one of Sony's products, namely the Inzone gaming monitor, one of which is a monitor with a 1440p resolution.
In addition to changes to resolution support, the update also allows PS5 gamers to create gamelists, or folders, to categorize their games. There are 15 gamelists that can be created, with each containing 100 games, whether games from disc, digital, or streaming.
The update also makes it easier for gamers to return to the game because their last game activity will be displayed on the screen. The 3D Audio option is now also easier to turn on or off and becomes Stereo Audio, to suit gamers' tastes.
There is also a preview version feature that can be tested by PS5 gamers in the United States and Britain. That is the voice command feature to perform certain activities, for example gamers can say "Hey PlayStation, fin [keyword] on YouTube," to search for certain videos on YouTube, even while playing a game.
Going forward, Sony is also preparing a major update for the PS App on Android and iOS. That is, gamers can activate PS Remote Play sessions directly from their phones or tablets, as long as the PS5 is in Rest mode.
