PS5 restock disaster could get solved by April, with millions more consoles coming each month, Millions of PS5 consoles could hit the shelves of retailers worldwide in the run-up to April, potentially making the process of finding where to buy the PS5 a lot easier.

That’s what’s being claimed by rather reliable stock update tipster PS5 UK Stock – Instant Updates, who claimed Sony plans to deliver 3 to nearly 4 million new games consoles a month, over the next few months.

While PS5 UK Stock – Instant Updates stock tips have proven to deliver fairly accurate on when to expect PS5 restocks in the U.K., it’s still worth taking this news with a pinch of skepticism. That’s because new PS5 stock drops are very unreliable, with retailers looking poised to get in new stock one day only to drop a load of new consoles two days or so later.

Even with substantial stock pushed out each month, we’d not be surprised to see PS5 stock shortages continue for a while yet. The appetite for the PS5, and indeed the Xbox Series X, is fantastically high. Each time new stock appears it sells out in minutes, though recently PS5 bundles managed to stay in stock for a whole 15 minutes.

Scalpers looking to capitalize on the PS5 appetite have been using bots to buy up a lot of PS5 stock to resell at extortionate prices, but retailers appear to be taking some measures to stop them. That still doesn’t solve the problem of demand outstripping supply.

Nevertheless, the news that more PS5 consoles could be coming on a monthly basis is positive. It’s likely a lot of the 3 to 4 million monthly units will go to the U.S. and Japan, where PlayStation has a huge presence. But there’s a good chance that stock levels in other regions will increase, so if you’re lucky and fast you may be able to get yourself a PS5.

PS5 will get a key visual feature in a future system software update, confirms Sony

https://bigbeatselectronics.com/

Sony has confirmed that it will bring Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support to the PlayStation 5 sometime in the future via a system software update.

The news comes from an updated system FAQ on the Official PlayStation Blog (via VGC) in which Sony confirms that the “PS5 hardware supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) through HDMI 2.1.”, adding that “after a future system software update, PS5 owners will be able to use the VRR feature of compatible TVs when playing games that support VRR.”

VRR is a fairly desirable feature, particularly for the high-frame-rate-targeting next-gen consoles, as essentially it enables a TV to adjust its refresh rate in real-time to match the frame rate output by the console. The benefit of this is that it should effectively eliminate the stutters and screen tears caused by fluctuating frame rates for an altogether smoother gameplay experience.

Bringing VRR to the PS5 isn’t an afterthought on the part of Sony—when the console’s official specs were revealed it was confirmed that VRR would be supported “specified by HDMI ver.2.1”. So while it’s somewhat surprising it wasn’t available on day one, it’s nice to know it’s coming.

No more tears

Sony hasn’t said exactly when the software update that will enable VRR is coming but it seems likely that it won’t want to wait too long, particularly as the feature is already supported on Xbox’s consoles, including the new Xbox Series X

Early 2021 would perhaps be a welcome time as we start to approach a period in which we’re more likely to see new PS5 games released that may want to take advantage of the feature. Of course, as Sony notes in its FAQ, making use of VRR will require a compatible TV and the games themselves will also need to support it. 

The PS5 and the Xbox Series X are now available worldwide, meaning the next-generation is here. Getting a hold of one of the consoles is proving pretty difficult since both are so in-demand, with the PS5 already proving particularly popular in Japan. At TechRadar we’re keeping on top of stock availability for both PS5 and Xbox Series X to help you find the console you’re looking for so you can start your next-gen journey.
