Sony recently rolled out a new update for the PlayStation 5 (PS5) which allows gamers to play games at 1440p resolution. Announced via a blog post yesterday, the new update is now available globally after 1440p was first tested by the PS5 beta participants.
Of course, this is good news for those that play their PS5 on a 1440p monitor, though it is to be noted that users will lose Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) when playing in 1440p. Instead, they have to choose whether to play in 60Hz or 120Hz as VRR is only available in 1080p and 2160p modes.
Moreover, the update also brings a new “gamelists” feature which allows users to create up to 15 folder-like lists for their games. These include 100 items per list which could be discs, digital or streaming games.
Other notable new features brought forth by the update are an easier way to toggle between regular Stereo Audio and 3D Audio, In-progress Activities which show the last activity that users engaged in and a preview of YouTube search via voice commands. Do note that for the latter, it is only available for PS5 players registered in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Besides that, Sony also announced new features that are coming to the PS App on Android and iOS. Among these include PS Remote Play on your phone or tablet and a Share Screen session with your friends so you can watch them play. Pretty awesome stuff!
