Latest PS5 System Update (Version: 22.01-05.50.00) is Now Available, and here What PS5 Update Features & Download Process

The most recent PlayStation 5 system software update is now available.

One significant new feature in the latest patch allows players to modify the settings for the auto low latency mode (ALLM).

If you're using a TV that supports ALLM, you can modify ALLM settings in Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > ALLM, according to the patch notes for the console.

This gives players more control over when ALLM is activated, but it is only available if their TV supports an auto low latency mode.

Automatic and Off are the new options available. While a player is playing video games, selecting Automatic will immediately put their TV in low-latency mode.

ALLM won't activate while playing games if the player turns it off, unless a game that supports variable refresh rate (VRR) is being played.

According to Sony's patch notes, the update also enhances system performance.
