PlayStation 5 owners urged to change the simple setting immediately for the best possible experience – Gaming

PlayStation 5 users are encouraged to change a simple setting on their console immediately to get the best possible gaming experience.

The latest generation in the PlayStation series of consoles already offers a great gaming experience, with the PS5 Pro, which was released in November, offering better graphics than ever before.

But just a small change to the settings menu can make a big difference – and even make your games look even more crystal clear.

You might not want to navigate through the difficult settings menu, but this simple change is a game changer and really easy to do.

To make the change, you must first understand whether your TV supports HGiG or not.

Tom’s guide explains that if your TV supports it, it’s better to enable HGiG – which stands for HDR Gaming Interest Group – to ‘get the most accurate tone mapping in games that support the feature’.

A game that supports this is Spider-Man: Miles Morales – and what a game it is. Not that the game needed any improvement, but if you can swing from building to building at the best quality possible, why wouldn’t you?

Tom’s guide explains that you can leave the setting on and it shouldn’t affect other games – meaning those that don’t support HGiG.

Once HGiG is enabled, you can go to ‘Adjust HDR’. You must then follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate HDR.

Another setting to change is VRR – also called Variable Refresh Rate – which is a new feature that lets the TV adjust its refresh rate to the PlayStation’s frame rate.

There are two options to switch off – off and automatic. If your television supports it, you can leave it on automatically, but if not, it’s best to turn it off.

VRR ultimately allows for smoother playback, which will result in less lag.

According to Tom’s Guide, just make these two adjustments to keep your games looking their absolute best.

In other PlayStation News, people have been shocked after finding out what the PlayStation buttons actually mean.

Video game news Twitter account Genki took to the platform to offer a ‘reminder’ of the original ‘meaning of the PlayStation symbols according to original PlayStation Designer Teiyu Goto! #PlayStation 30th Anniversary’.

The post reveals: “X – No

“○ – Yes

“△ – View point (head/direction)

“□ – piece of paper (menu/ documents).”
