It’s been a long time coming, but PlayStation 5 is finally getting official variable refresh rate (VRR) support this week. For those unfamiliar, VRR syncs your screen’s refresh rate with the performance of your game, reducing issues like stuttering and screen tearing. The Xbox Series X and S have supported the feature since launch, but Sony, for reasons unexplained, has lagged behind when it comes to delivering VRR. Here’s a bit more detail from the official announcement...

Today, we’re excited to announce that Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support will start rolling out globally to PS5 players this week. On HDMI 2.1 VRR-compatible TVs and PC monitors, VRR dynamically syncs the refresh rate of the display to the PS5 console’s graphical output. This enhances visual performance for PS5 games by minimizing or eliminating visual artifacts, such as frame pacing issues and screen tearing. Gameplay in many PS5 titles feels smoother as scenes render seamlessly, graphics look crisper, and input lag is reduced. Previously released PS5 games can be fully optimized for VRR through a game patch and future games may include VRR support at launch.
