PS5 VRR support enabled for select titles

Go in and check out buttery smooth goodness.

PS5 VRR support has now been enabled for a select group of titles, with more coming later in the year.

As we previously reported, VRR stands for variable refresh rate and essentially fixes visual problems between your TV and console making for a smoother experience.

“This enhances visual performance for PS5 games by minimizing or eliminating visual artifacts, such as frame pacing issues and screen tearing,” Sony said. “Gameplay in many PS5 titles feels smoother as scenes render instantly, graphics look crisper, and input lag is reduced.”

Titles currently taking advantage of PS5 VRR support include:

• Astro’s Playroom
• Call of Duty: Vanguard
• Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
• Destiny 2
• Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition
• DIRT 5

• Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
• Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
• Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
