How to Enable 1440p on PlayStation 5
According to PlayStation’s blog, gamers can access the beta through invitations in select countries like the U.S., Canada, Japan, U.K., Germany and France. Once players have gotten an invitation to the beta, head to your PS5’s settings.
Once you’re there, follow these steps to turn on 1440p resolution for your PS5:
- After going into your settings, head to the Screen and Video settings.
- Once in your Screen and Video settings, go to your Video Output.
- And when you get there, head down to Resolution and frequency where you will choose Resolution.
- Click on Resolution and scroll down to 1440p.
There is one big caveat to using 1440p specifically if you choose to do so on your PS5. Check out our latest story on the beta update to see what you lose out on if you make the switch to an updated resolution.
