PlayStation 5 owners are being encouraged to tweak their console settings to optimize their gaming experience. A minor adjustment can significantly enhance the visual quality of games, making them look their best. The key lies in understanding whether your TV supports HGiG (HDR Gaming Interest Group) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate).
HGiG is a feature that ensures the most accurate tone mapping in games that support it, such as “Spider-Man: Miles Morales.” Enabling HGiG on a compatible TV allows for a more immersive and visually stunning gaming experience. Once HGiG is enabled, players should proceed to ‘Adjust HDR’ in the PlayStation settings and follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the HDR, ensuring the best possible display.
VRR, another crucial setting, allows the TV to adjust its refresh rate in sync with the PlayStation’s frame rate output. This feature is particularly beneficial for smoother gameplay, reducing lags and enhancing the overall gaming experience. Players can toggle VRR between ‘off’ and ‘automatic.’ If the TV supports VRR, setting it to ‘automatic’ is recommended for optimal performance.
By simply adjusting these two settings, HGiG and VRR, PlayStation 5 games can reach their full visual potential. For instance, playing “Hogwarts Legacy” with these settings optimized could result in even more impressive graphics, elevating the gaming experience to new heights.
In related news, whispers of a sequel to the popular game “Hogwarts Legacy,” which sold 22 million copies by the end of last year, have been circulating among gamers. Warner Bros. has hinted at more Harry Potter games, with the next title set to be “Quidditch Champions.” Although still in beta and without an official release date, Warner Bros. gaming boss David Haddad has expressed the company’s commitment to designing the game to delight fans and underscored the importance of franchise and games in keeping franchises relevant and engaging.
For PlayStation 5 owners, taking the time to adjust these settings can lead to a more immersive and visually stunning gaming experience, making every moment in front of the screen a spectacular display of the console’s capabilities.
