PlayStation 5 now supports 1440p output in addition to 1080p and 2160p. Sony said that 1440p has been a highly requested feature from PC gamers.
1080p and 2160p (4K) are ideal video output formats for TVs since they match the TVs' native resolution. 1440p is a popular format in the PC space as it matches many PC monitors and lets users enjoy increased frame rates without going all the way down to 1080p.
- "Thanks to the support and feedback from our PS5 beta participants, today we’re rolling out a new system software update to PS5 players globally. The update includes several highly-requested features like 1440p HDMI video output and gamelist," announced Sony.
