Starting later today, Sony will launch the ability to create or join open/closed parties for the PS app. In addition, the UI of PS App Game Base will be updated to make it easier to access friends, gatherings and messages, providing the same social experience as PS5.\PS Remote Play users can experience the new “dark mode” according to their mobile phone settings, adding simplified and traditional Chinese language options.
Upcoming: Variable refresh rate support for PS5
Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) is scheduled to be launched on PS5 in the next few months. On HDMI 2.1-compatible TV and PC displays, VRR will improve the visual experience of PS5 games by minimizing or eliminating visual interference (such as frame instability and picture tearing).
Previously released PS5 games can adapt to the VRR function through game patches, and future games may include support for VRR when they are released.
You can also choose to apply VRR to unsupported PS5 games. If there is any unexpected visual problem, you can turn this option off at any time.
