PlayStation 5 kan nu udsende videosignaler i 1440p, foruden 1080p og 2160p. Sony siger, at 1440p har været en meget efterspurgt funktion fra særligt PC-gamere.

1080p og 2160p (4K) er ideelle formater til TV-skærme, idet de matcher de digitale skærmes opløsning. 1440p er derimod et populært format på PC-området, idet det matcher mange PC-monitorers opløsning og fordi det lader spillerne nyde højere billedfrekvens (fps) uden at rykke helt ned til 1080p.

- "Takket være supporten og feedbacken fra vores PS5 beta-deltagere udruller vi i dag en ny systemsoftwareopdatering til PS5-spillere globalt. Opdateringen indeholder adskillige meget efterspurgte funktioner såsom 1440p HDMI-videooutput og gamelist,"  annoncerede Sony.

1440p fra PlayStation 5 kræver et TV eller en PC-monitor, som understøtter 1440p 60Hz eller 1440p 120Hz input. VRR på PlayStation 5 virker kun med 1080p og 4K – ikke med 1440p.


 1440p output kan nu vælges i PS5's indstillingsmenu

Xbox understøttede allerede 1440p.

Andre nye funktioner, der tilføjes med opdateringen, tæller bl.a. mulighed for at sammenligne 3D-lyd med stereolyd, lettere adgang til Activities og spilliste (gamelist). Se tabellen nedenfor.

Du kan opdatere din PS5-konsol nu med opdateringsfunktionen i indstillingsmenuen.
