Sony heeft via de officiele PlayStation blog bekendgemaakt dat de PlayStation 5 ondersteuning krijgt voor 1440p-resolutie.
Een bèta PS5 firmware update is nu beschikbaar voor testers in bepaalde landen. Nadat de firmware goed is getest, zal het worden uitgerold aan alle PS5-gebruikers. 1440p is een resolutie die voornamelijk wordt gebruikt bij PC monitors. Na de update kunnen gebruikers native gamen op 1440p. De update maakt het verder mogelijk om gamelijsten te maken en enkele andere quality of life-verbeteringen.
Hieronder een overzicht van alle verbeteringen van de nieuwe PS5 firmware update.
New Gameplay and Personalization Options
- 1440p HDMI Video Output
- The PS5 beta introduces support for 1440p HDMI video output, enabling players to choose an additional visual setting on compatible PC monitors and TVs.**
- If the game you’re playing supports 1440p rendering you can experience native 1440p output on your display.
- Or, if you’re playing a game with a higher native resolution like 4K, then you may benefit from improved anti-aliasing through supersampling down to 1440p output.
- You can check if your HDMI device is compatible by selecting “Test 1440p Output” under “Screen and Video” options within system settings.
- Gamelists
- In your Game Library you can now create gamelists, which make organizing your games even easier.
- To start, go to the [Your Collection] tab and select [Create Gamelist]. Choose games to add to your gamelist, then decide what to name it.
- You can have up to 15 gamelists and 100 games per gamelist. All games under the “Your Collection” tab of your Game Library can be added to a gamelist, including disc, digital and streaming titles.*** You can also add the same game to multiple gamelists.
- Compare 3D Audio and Stereo Audio
- You can now listen to and compare the difference between 3D and stereo audio on the same screen, and then choose your preferred setting.
- Easier Access to In-progress Activities
- When resuming a game, in-progress activities are often shown prominently at the top of the game hub to make it as easy and as fast as possible to get back to where you left off.
New Social Features
- Request Share Screen
- You can now request party members to start Share Screen to watch their gameplay. Go to the voice chat card, select the party member you want to send the request to, and then select [Request Share Screen].
