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. It looks like we might get it sooner than later going by Lance McDonald’s Tweet.
Elden Ring is out now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC worldwide. Read my review here.
