Frame drops, crashes, high ping, and other performance hiccups can ruin a good gaming session. So, if you're looking for a way to give your PS5 a performance boost to avoid these issues, you've come to the right place.
Ensuring that everything is updated on your PS5 is one of the easiest ways to improve performance. For instance, updating the system software brings a host of bug fixes, optimizations, and stability improvements. These keep your PS5 running smoothly by resolving potential bottlenecks that can negatively affect the console's performance.
Your PS5 should automatically download updates and offer to install them, but you can manually check by launching the "Settings" app in the top-right corner of the dashboard and heading to System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings.
Frames per second (FPS or frame rate) can make a big difference, especially in action games. For instance, attacks are easier to dodge or parry if a game runs at 60 FPS instead of 30 FPS. Frame times are faster, which means your inputs will be translated into on-screen actions more quickly at higher frame rates.
Many games now include the option to choose between performance (or frame rate) mode and fidelity (or quality) mode. You can instruct your PS5 to favor performance mode where possible, which means you won't need to set this manually in most games.
To do that, select "Settings" (the gear icon) next to your profile picture icon in the top-right corner of the PS5's home screen. Then, head to Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Game Presets.
Select the "Performance Mode or Resolution Mode" option, then select "Performance Mode" in the menu.
Your PS5 will now prefer a higher frame rate (if the game supports it) over graphical fidelity. Remember that you can always head to a game's settings menu and check the available options under "Graphics" or "Video."
