Rocket League PS5 gets 120Hz mode
Gear change.
Rocket League on PlayStation 5 gets a 120hz mode tomorrow, 18th August, developer Psyonix announced in a post on the PlayStation Blog.
A new “Video Quality” setting within the Video Settings menu lets players select Quality or Performance modes.
Quality mode enables 4K resolution at 60fps with HDR. HDR requires an HDR10-compatible display and HDMI 2.0 cable or better, and you’ll need a 4K capable display to experience 4K. If you use a 1080p display in this mode, Rocket League renders at 1080p supersampled from 4K.
Performance mode, on the other hand, runs Rocket League at 2688×1512 resolution (70 percent of full 4K) at 120fps with HDR.
In this mode, the game’s user interface runs in 4K. As before, you need a 4K display to play in 4K. If you use a 1080p display, Rocket League renders at 1080p supersampled from 2688×1512.
And, as you’d expect, HDR and 120fps require a compatible display, as well as Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 cable.
Rocket League still doesn’t have a native PS5 app – it’s playable on Sony’s current-gen console via backwards compatibility – so it’s cool to see Psyonix issue this update for Sony’s current-gen console.
