Does PS5 need HDMI 2.1?

๐ŸŸก Yes, but...

Not required, but needed for 4K@120Hz and VRR. HDMI 2.0 works for 4K@60Hz.

โš–๏ธ Medium Confidence
๐Ÿ“Š Why this confidence level?
  • HDMI 2.0 supports 4K@60Hz which is the target for most PS5 games.
  • HDMI 2.1 unlocks 4K@120Hz, VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), and ALLM.
  • Only a few games support 120Hz mode.
๐Ÿ”ฅ
Tipping Point
