The PS5 now supports 1440p for those with access to its software. Players who use monitors instead of TVs want the console to support 1440p output. It provides a middle ground between full HD and 4K and is a popular choice for people who play on their PCs. When using the PS5 with a compatible monitor, a 1440p HDMI video output option will be added to the menu.

If the game they're playing supports the resolution, they can enjoy the benefits. If they're playing a game that supports 4K, they could also benefit from the feature, because the option down samples the visuals for 1440p output and that leads to sharper images. The console's variable refresh rate is only available for 2160p and1080p It's not clear why the screen doesn't have the ability to sync its refresh rate with the game for a smooth experience.

The latest version of the software gives users a way to create gamelists in their game library so that they can better organize their titles. The players can create up to 15 gamelists. Their in-progress activities will be shown prominently at the top of the game hub when they resume a game, and they can now request party members to share their screens so that they can watch their game. When they join a party and a member is playing a game, they will receive an alert and join the game directly from that.

There are more experimental features that have been introduced with the new alpha.
