Two years after its launch, Sony PlayStation 5 still fails to deliver on its promised 8K support

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, December 25, it has been more than two years since Sony launched the PlayStation 5 mainframe, but Sony's "4K 120", 8K and HDR selling points marked on its package are still unfulfilled, and Sony has not disclosed when it will support 8K resolution.

FlatPanelsHD recently questioned Sony about the omission of the PlayStation 5, but so far Sony has not responded. He believes that while 8K monitors and televisions are not common, Sony should not use features that are not supported by its products as a selling point.

CTOnews.com learned that "The Touryst" originally supports 8K 60 FPS operation, but because PlayStation 5 does not support 8K resolution, it can only run in 4K 60 FPS mode.

However, today's mainframe players will mostly choose to buy 4K 120Hz TVs that support HDR and variable refresh rate technology rather than 8K screens, so 8K TVs are not selling very well at present, and mainstream streaming services do not plan to support 8K content in the short term. So there are few serious consequences for PlayStation 5 even if it doesn't support 8K resolution.
