Much has been said about the power of the PS5 and its ability to support resolutions higher than 1080p such as 2160p, otherwise known as 4K. Unfortunately, 1440p display users have felt left out ever since the PS5 launched. It's not that the PS5 doesn't support 1440p. It's just that there's no native 1440p support unlike with the Xbox Series S/X.
Thankfully, Sony is taking the necessary steps to eliminate this problem. The next major PS5 firmware update "might" include 1440p support after Sony confirmed that it is rolling the feature out to beta testers starting today, July 28.
Starting today, PS5 beta testers can select between four resolutions: 720p, 1080p, 1440p, as well as 2160p. Sony explains that the PS5 will downsample the graphics quality from higher resolutions if you play games on 1440p. This will result in crisper and sharper image quality. But, if the game supports 1440p, then gamers will enjoy native 1440p output, which is even better. Unfortunately, Sony still hasn't found a way around adding VRR support to 1440p as the feature will still be limited to 1080p and 2160p.
