VRR support rolling out for PS5 now. System level support as well as per title updates
- Thread starter ItsBradazHD
- Start date
Click the green button on the remote a few times. A display will come up with current resolution, refresh rate, and VRR indication.
You can mash the green button on your remote and a little info window will pop up.
Strange. It didn't download anything for me. I just needed to Shut down the PS5 and then it appeared.
It's online for me.
Tried with
- Uncharted 4 (PS5 version). It works although the game is already 60fps stable...
- Subnautica (PS5). It works too, they added vsync and "reduced tearing" on an update, with VRR on it seems to run better and the drops are less noticeable (but still exists). Performance mode.
I'm downloading Spider-man Remastered and No Man's Sky to try it.

Hmm, I tested Final Fantasy VII Remake, Astrobot, Demon's Souls and Scarlet Nexus (all PS5 native apps). All of them showed up as a fixed rate 60hz signal on my CX. I have VRR set to 'Apply for unsupported games', not sure what I am doing wrong here.
Worked with Final Fantasy for me, so definitely something that needs changing on your end.
I just rechecked: You have to turn on the 'Instant game response' setting in your CX to make VRR work. I had it toggeled off because I was getting annoyed by the constant pop ups after the latest PS5 firmware update that introduced support for ALLM.

Oh no, sorry for the confusion. I've had both since launch. I'm just curious what game would best show off VRR.
And without 120hz it's feels much higher resolution as well. Pure bonus
In that case, Spider Man in Performance RT mode or Elden Ring in Performance mode. Spider Man is insane because it can get to 100FPS with ray tracing on.
I also feel like Deathloop in Ray Tracing mode might end up being the best way to play the game.
I have a CX so not sure on C1. But usually its on picture settings and then extra settings. And its in list with HDMI deep colour etc
I retested all of these games and they now show up as running in VRR on my CX after switching on the 'Instant game response' setting (PS5 is set to "apply vrr to unsupported games").
In contrast Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi is still showing up as fixed rate 60hz since it's a PS4 BC game.
Restart ps5. I did and then it appeared within like 5 minutes. Not instantly.
Try to Shut down your PS5, not "Restart". That's what made it work for me.
I restarted it once and it didn't appear. Then i tried "Shut Down" and it worked.
Ok that's awesome than! Finally awesome to have this feature and be able to use games in their high quality modes with a smooth gameplay experience!
Shame to hear about that, it's definitely the game that needed VRR the most, but an improvement is an improvement I guess
Elden Ring doesn't seem to work. Just gets set to fixed 120hz and is completely washed out. Disabling 120hz output doesn't change anything there either. This is on a C1.
If you haven't already, there is an option in the TV to enable VRR (Freesync) for each HDMI port
I had to enable the "Instant game response" setting on my CX and it started working!
That's weird, the ALLM on PS5 should have done that itself
Can't get it working on my C1 at all. Can't see any option for Instant Game Responce. I actually thought that was changed to something else on the C1, from the CX.
Ignore - working now. Doesn't display in GT7 at all.
