Earlier today, Sony announced on its official blog that the PlayStation 5 platform will support variable refresh rates (VRR) this week. According to the latest news from netizens, now you only need to restart the Sony PlayStation 5 and re-insert the HDMI 2.1 cable on the TV to turn on the VRR function without waiting for the system update.
