It’s a great option for games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which couldn’t initially maintain a 60 fps frame rate on Xbox Series X and suffered from screen tearing (though a scheduled Valhalla patch will add 60 fps support on both consoles).
TELEVISOR HDMI 2.1 PS4
This is certainly possible with PS4 games running on PS5, too, but because of the way Sony handles backward compatibility, it will require more work from developers to make it happen. At launch, there are very few games that can deliver 4K120 output among them are Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition and Dirt 5.īackward compatibility on the Xbox Series X can support 120 fps gaming in certain Xbox One titles, such as Gears 5, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Rocket League. 4K/120 fps: Both consoles can play games in 4K resolution at 120 frames per second - double the usual previous-generation maximum of 60 fps - which requires the vastly increased bandwidth that HDMI 2.1 offers.Photo: Henry Hargreaves for Polygon Which HDMI 2.1 features do the PS5 and Xbox Series X support?Īt launch, the PS5 and Xbox Series X don’t offer the same level of support for the key video features that are part of the HDMI 2.1 specification.
TELEVISOR HDMI 2.1 UPGRADE
Which, again, is why you might not want to upgrade yet. Still, few existing TVs offer HDMI 2.1 ports - and even if they do, support for HDMI 2.1 features is kind of a mess right now. While there are some TV sets going back as far as 2018 that can support certain HDMI 2.1 features, 2020 is the year in which the port started to make any real inroads into the market.


The main thing to know about HDMI 2.1 is that it’s very, very new. That all sounds promising, but in our opinion, it may be a good idea to hold off on an upgrade if you were thinking of buying a new TV specifically for the PS5 or Xbox Series X.

(For more details on these elements, see our HDMI 2.1-focused article about the new consoles.) The advent of HDMI 2.1 brings with it a number of significant improvements over the previous HDMI specification, including dynamic HDR, enhanced audio return channel (eARC), and two gaming-oriented features: auto low-latency mode (ALLM) and variable refresh rate (VRR). In particular, both the PS5 and Xbox Series X can take advantage of some of the features baked into HDMI 2.1, the latest iteration of the audio/video port. After all, Sony and Microsoft have packed their respective consoles with all kinds of forward-looking technology that promises to deliver previously impossible gaming experiences, and some of it relies on cutting-edge TVs. People interested in those next-generation consoles may be wondering if they should buy a new TV to go along with their new gaming system (if they can get their hands on a PS5 or Xbox Series X or S, that is). The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are here, and the holiday shopping season is upon us as well.
