Sony confirms Variable Refresh Rate coming to PS5 in future update

San Francisco (IANS) Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation 5 will get Variable Refresh Rate or VRR support via a future software update.

VRR is a display technology that allows a console or PC to push frames to a display only when a new frame is present.

On the PlayStation Blog Sony said, "PS5 hardware supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) through HDMI 2.1. After a future system software update, PS5 owners will be able to use the VRR feature of compatible TVs when playing games that support VRR".

With Variable Refresh Rate being a key pillar of the new HDMI 2.1 that allows the PS5 to output at 4K 120fps or up to 8K, the lack of support for this feature is a curious one.

VRR has been a key feature in the PC gaming space with technology like G-SYNC and FreeSync from NVIDIA and AMD respectively being available on gaming monitors.

PlayStation will also be bringing other key features to the PS5 in the near future. The feature of storing PlayStation 5 software on an external HDD/SSD will come in the future as well as support for internal SSD storage.

In the US, the Sony PS5 has been priced at $499.99 for the Standard Edition and the Digital Edition has been launched at $399.99.
