How many Hz is the PS5?

The PlayStation 5 (PS5) supports a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz when connected to a compatible display via HDMI 2.1. This means the PS5 can output up to 120 frames per second (FPS) in games that support this refresh rate, resulting in smoother and more responsive gameplay, especially in fast-paced titles.

Key Points About PS5 and Refresh Rate:

  • Maximum Refresh Rate: 120Hz at 1080p or 4K (provided the monitor or TV supports HDMI 2.1).
  • Games that support 120Hz: Some PS5 games, like Call of Duty: Warzone, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, can run at 120Hz for smoother performance.
  • TV/Monitor Compatibility: To take full advantage of 120Hz, you'll need a TV or monitor that supports HDMI 2.1 and 120Hz at the desired resolution (either 1080p or 4K).

If you're using an older TV or one with HDMI 2.0, the PS5 will be limited to 60Hz at 4K or 120Hz at 1080p, depending on the game's settings.
