Sony’s latest update finally introduces support for 1440p resolutions.
Sony has rolled out full 1440p resolution support as part of a new PS5 update, alongside a bundle of additional software features.
While support for the resolution was first added through a July PS5 beta firmware update, Sony has announced (opens in new tab) that it’ll now be available to all console owners globally. If you’re playing a game that supports 1440p, it’ll automatically output at that resolution to match your monitor. Games that run at higher native resolutions, such as 4K, will use improved anti-aliasing to shift down to 1440p.
Before this update, the console was only capable of outputting 1080p and 4K resolutions. If you tried running your PS5 through a 1440p display, its output would be automatically downgraded to 1080p, wasting the extra pixels.
