For gamers who’ve invested in a Sony <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/sonys-playstation-5-achieves-remarkable-50/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PlayStation 5</a>, getting the most out of this high-performance console is a top priority. Whether you own the original model or the sleek PlayStation 5 Slim, some simple settings adjustments can significantly enhance your gaming experience.&nbsp;

Firstly, YouTuber John Glasscock recommends tweaking some settings to improve the graphical fidelity of your games. Follow these steps:
Access your PlayStation 5’s settings and navigate to ‘Saved Data and Game/App Settings.’
In ‘Game Presets,’ select ‘Resolution Mode’ instead of ‘Performance Mode.’
Go to ‘Screen and Video’ settings and choose ‘Video Output Information.’
Adjust the settings as follows: set resolution to ‘automatic,’ turn off VRR, set 120 Hz Output to ‘automatic,’ set ALLM to off, choose ‘4K Video Transfer Rate’ as ‘automatic,’ enable HDR ‘On When Supported,’ set Deep Colour Output to ‘automatic,’ and select RGB Range as ‘automatic.’
By making these adjustments, you’ll prioritize graphical fidelity over frame rates, ensuring stunning visuals in games like The Last of Us Part II Remastered and Marvel’s <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/spider-man-2-multiplayer-mode-cancelled/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Spider-Man 2</a>.

Slow download speeds can frustrate PS5 owners, but there’s a simple solution. If you’re experiencing sluggish downloads, follow these steps to potentially double your speeds:
Check if your PlayStation 5 is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band. This can result in slow speeds.
If you have a wireless mesh system, switch your network to 5GHz instead of 2.4GHz.
Users have reported significant improvements in download speeds after making this change, so it’s worth trying if you’ve been facing lengthy download times.

To further enhance your PlayStation 5 gaming experience, consider the following settings adjustments:
HGiG Compatibility: Check if your TV supports HGiG. Even if a game doesn’t explicitly support HGiG, enabling this setting won’t negatively impact your experience.
VRR (Variable Refresh Rate): If your TV supports VRR, leave it enabled for smoother gameplay. If not, it’s best to turn it off, as using it only for supported games might cause compatibility issues.
By fine-tuning these settings, you can ensure your PS5 delivers the best possible gaming experience tailored to your hardware.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="reclaiming-lost-playstation-stars">Reclaiming lost PlayStation stars</h2>
For PlayStation users who have been collecting stars through the PlayStation phone app, there have been reports of stars disappearing during the festive season. If you’ve encountered this issue, here’s what you can do:
If you received a case number for your missing stars, report it to PlayStation’s live service chat.
Sony’s support staff may be able to retroactively credit the missing stars to your account.
Several users have succeeded in recovering their missing stars by contacting PlayStation support. These stars can be redeemed for digital items, games, or store credit, making addressing any issues you’ve encountered worthwhile.
