Elden Ring VRR update for PS5
As of now, a PS5-specific VRR update has not been announced. With VRR having rolled out for PS5, hopefully Elden Ring gets patched to take full advantage of it on PS5.
Bandai Namco Entertainment confirmed that ray tracing will come later on as well. Hopefully FromSoftware can focus on improving performance on consoles and PC before ray tracing because the game on PC is still not in a great state right now.
Elden Ring is out now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC worldwide. Read my review here.
