variable refresh rate (VRR) will arrive this week in PS5. As has long been reported, the long-awaited functionality will be offered via a software update in the coming days. This will remove tearing and transition frames on TVs and monitors that support HDMI 2.1 and VRR.
The company announced in PlayStation Blog that PS5 games already on the market can be optimized for VRR with a patch. this feature will be included for future releasesalthough its implementation will depend on the developers.
PlayStation introduced games that will receive software updates to enable VRR In the coming weeks.

What is Variable Refresh Rate (VRR)?
Variable refresh rate dynamically synchronizes screen refresh rate with PS5 graphics output. This option has been around for a while on PC and remove annoying tearinga string that “cuts” the screen when the monitor is out of sync with the graphics information sent by the computer.
To avoid hardware problems developers fixed the frame rate per second. This has changed with the advent of new generation consoles such as the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, which now run some games at over 60fps without issue and offer variable refresh rates to ensure a smooth experience.
Two things are required for this feature to work: compatible console and monitor or TV with HDMI 2.1 port Also have BRR support. The latter is important, since the presence of an HDMI 2.1 port does not guarantee a variable refresh rate. Some TV models do not include this option or sometimes require a firmware update to enable it.
How to enable VRR on PS5?
To enable variable refresh rate on PS5 you will need to update your console software In the next few days. Later, the VRR option will appear in the “Display & Video” settings. It is also integrated the ability to activate it in unsupported games. According to Sony, this option may improve video quality in some games, although it is not guaranteed to work.
The support page mentions that Sony continues to work with TV manufacturers to improve performance and user experience for consoles. A few weeks ago, Sony released a firmware update that enables VRR on several models with an HDMI 2.1 port.
