After a long wait, the PS5 finally has auto low-latency mode support. Sony added the new feature to its flagship console as it served as the highlight of the recent system update. If you have a PS5, the console will automatically download and apply the update the next time that you turn it on. But, word of caution, the update will take up roughly around 1GB of storage space on the PS5’s diminutive SSD. Once you’ve updated your PS5, all you need next is a TV that supports ALLM and an HDMI 2.1 cable. If you have both, just navigate to the PS5’s “Settings” menu then go to “Screen and Vidoe” followed by “Video Output”. You should find ALLM somewhere there. If you switch the ALLM setting to Automatic, your TV will switch to ALLM as soon as you play a game. The latest PS5 update comes just shortly after Sony brought VRR to its newest console in May. Auto low-latency mode might be a mouthful, but it’s also a big deal. This game-changing PS5 feature can reduce input lag and improve the gameplay experience because it disables display-enhancing settings that you might have on your TV. It’s a great feature to have if you like playing first-person shooters and multiplayer titles, as well as any game where every second counts. Xbox Series S/X owners have enjoyed both ALLM and VRR since launch, so it’s nice to see Sony and the PS5 finally keeping up. All you need now is to save up for that TV that can support both features. But, hey, there are plenty of 4K TVs out there - you can’t say the same for PS5 stocks. Speaking of Sony, the console manufacturer finally came forward with a new trailer and release date for God of War: Ragnarok. Unfortunately, it appears that this might have come at the expense of Forspoken, which is now set to come out in January instead of October.
