But Sony also noted that it plans to release a Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) feature for the PlayStation 5 “in the coming months.”

“Gameplay in many PS5 titles feels smoother because scenes are rendered instantly, graphics look sharper and input lag is reduced,” Sony explains in a PlayStation Blog post. “Previously released PS5 games may be fully optimized for VRR through a game patch, and future games may include VRR support at launch.”

To put it simply, VRR is basically an adaptive feature designed to make your gaming sessions look and feel better: it can improve overall graphical output and reduce visual artifacts, screen tearing, and frame-pacing issues. This applies to all games on the system – even if a specific title does not officially support VRR.

You can now also open games, apps, and settings using the voice command feature (English only), and UI overhauls have fixed issues with trophy cards and more.
