The PS5 will have a variable refresh rate feature in the coming months. You will be able to use the new feature with games that don't support it. Sony announced the availability of new PS5 and PS4 software updates.

The PS5 games feel better as scenes render instantly, graphics look better, and input lag is reduced.

PS5 owners will be able to apply Virtual Reality to games that don't support it.

This could be a great way to improve games like Elden Ring, which launched with performance issues in the PS5 version of the game. Sony hasn't mentioned an exact release date for VRR beyond the coming months, but the company has publicly tested its previous system software updates so testing will likely begin soon.

New PS5 and PS4 software updates include the ability to create or join open or closed parties on the consoles. Enhancements to the Game Base and Trophy cards are among the things the PS5 is getting. The new Voice Command feature on the PS5 can be tested in the US and UK.
