PlayStation 5 owners urged to immediately change these settings for best experience

PlayStation 5 owners are being advised to adjust the settings on their console as soon as possible to optimise their gaming experience.

While the PlayStation 5 undoubtedly delivers a fantastic gaming experience straight out of the box, there are a few simple adjustments to make.

The PS5's launch was a significant upgrade from the PS4. The next-gen console was designed to upgrade the gaming experience of console owners by offering insane 4K graphics, and processing capabilities twice as strong as the PS4.

Not to mention, its full compatibility with a library of thousands of PS4 games, including free PS5 upgrades to play visually-upgraded favourites like Marvel's Spider-Man and Resident Evil 4.

In just a few minutes to go through your PS5 settings and a brief look into your TV options, you can fully optimise the experience of playing your favourite games.

After all, why pass up the opportunity to take full advantage of the technology offered today?

First, you need to check whether your TV is compatible with HGiG.

'HGiG' stands for 'HDR Gaming Interest Group'.

If your TV does support it, activate the setting on your TV and follow the on-screen instructions in your PlayStation's settings to calibrate the HDR.

According to Tom's Guide, these simple adjustments can really enhance your gaming experience.

HGiG is a result of technical guidelines that were designed to make HDR gaming better and more consistent.

However, if your TV doesn't support it, no harm no foul and your experience won't have any impact.

Many HDR games and TVs now implement HGiG integration and it's performing very well. Console manufacturing giants Microsoft and Sony created HGiG which allowed TV manufacturers such as LG, Samsung, and Panasonic, and game developers like Activision, EA, Rockstar, and Ubisoft to join as its members.

Additionally, if your TV supports VRR settings, which stands for 'Variable Refresh Rate,' Tom's Guide recommends turning this on as it will enhance your gaming experience.

If it does, you can check on your PS5's VRR by going to settings, then Screen and Video. Then, tap on Video Output, the VRR option should be visible in the middle.

There are two options to toggle from: off and automatic. If your TV supports VRR, you can go ahead and activate the setting to 'Automatic'.

Simply put, VRR allows smoother playback of games, meaning fewer lags and better responsiveness.

If your TV doesn't support VRR, it's best to keep the feature disabled to avoid any technical issues.

With The Last of Us 2 Remastered launching in three days, and the hope for Rockstar's GTA 6 in 2025, your immersive gaming experience should not be anything less than extraordinary.
