    Sony's latest update finally introduces support for 1440p resolutions.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Sony has rolled out full 1440p resolution support as part of a new PS5
    update, alongside a bundle of additional software features.

    While support for the resolution was first added through a July PS5 beta firmware update , Sony has announced that itll now be available to all
    console owners globally. If youre playing a game that supports 1440p, itll automatically output at that resolution to match your monitor. Games that run at higher native resolutions, such as 4K, will use improved anti-aliasing to shift down to 1440p.

    Before this update, the console was only capable of outputting 1080p and 4K resolutions. If you tried running your PS5 through a 1440p display, its
    output would be automatically downgraded to 1080p, wasting the extra pixels. Through this update, you can finally enjoy the high resolution your display supports, without needing to upgrade to the best 4K TV .

    That's no small improvement, and one we've been waiting on for a while . Outside 4K and 1080p monitors, 1440p is one of the more popular resolutions, particularly among PC gamers who might use their desk monitor as their main console display. The PS5's lack of support was particularly glaring next to the Xbox Series X |S, which have supported the resolution since launch. Software features

    The new PS5 update also introduces a folder system. You can now organize your games into specific gamelists, making it easier to navigate your library. To set one up, head to the Your Collection tab and select Create Gamelist. You can create up to 15 folders with 100 games in each, collecting any disc, digital or streaming titles youve got on your system.

    A couple of new social features are also available. Now, you can send a Share Screen request to fellow party members through the voice chat menu, letting you watch their gameplay in real time. The PlayStation app has also been updated to support the tool.

    Plus, its been made easier to join your buddies games. A new notification
    will pop up any time you join a party with a member whos already playing a game, inviting you to jump in with them. Hardly revolutionary, but it takes a few button presses out of the equation.

    Sonys also improved the capabilities of the PS5s YouTube app, letting you search for videos using voice commands. You can open the app anytime even when mid-game by saying Hey PlayStation, find [keyword] on YouTube. The future is here. Xbox Game Pass adds Disneys answer to Stardew Valley
