The next PS5 software update from Sony\u00a0will teach the\u00a0game console to automatically disable HDR mode when working with content in SDR.\u00a0This improvement is intended to save players time and nerves, since previously it was only possible to disable or enable HDR mode in the settings.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The update will improve the interaction of the PS5 with the TV connected to the set-top box.\u00a0Now it will be able to automatically turn on when the STB starts up.\u00a0A mode is also available in which the PS5 “falls asleep” if you turn off the TV connected to the console.<\/p>\n

The update also improves the compatibility of the set-top box with monitors operating at 120 Hz.\u00a0It is promised that a monitor with 1080p resolution and 120Hz support should now work at these settings with the PS5.\u00a0Variable refresh rate (VRR) support is still missing on the PS5.<\/p>\n

The update also adds the ability to quickly disable in-game chat and search for purchased games is available.\u00a0In this case, the user will be able to hide games in the library.<\/p>\n

The update supports the previously added ability to store PS5 games on external storage, as an onboard SSD with a capacity of less than 1TB may not be enough for everything.\u00a0But in order to run these games, they still have to be transferred to the PS5’s on-board drive – the speed of the external drive is not enough to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
