It has been almost six months since the launch of the PS5, but there are still no signs of 1440p mode support for Sony’s latest console.
A new PS5 update was released on April 14 that brought some welcome changes to the PlayStation user interface and some much-needed additional features for the system, such as being able to save PS5 games to an external USB hard drive. There were a few surprises too, like being able to disable HDR for games that don’t support it, and an easy way to enable 120Hz support on the PS5.
However, it’s annoying that Sony is still reluctant to unlock support for the PS5’s internal M.2 SSD port, meaning that users still only have 667GB of usable storage space on the PS5 to use. play PS5 titles for the foreseeable future. But the other big absence in the April PS5 update that seems much simpler to implement, and that is the support for 1440p. Where is?
1440p is an increasingly common resolution and is possibly the standard now for most monitor manufacturers and PC gamers. For this reason, there are a large number of users who will connect their PlayStation 5 console to a monitor, especially streamers. But unless you have a 4K screen, the PS5 defaults to 1080p output, albeit reduced.
That means that those who play on a 1440p screen lose 78% more pixels due to having to play in 1080p, which is not at all acceptable considering that both the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S allow Playback users at 1440p. In fact, Xbox One added 1440p support in 2018. Three years later, Sony has yet to bring the option to PS4, PS4 Pro, or more importantly PS5.
