Yes, your PS5 VRR is having stuttering problems, but no one knows exactly what’s causing them

• Sony consoles have a VRR problem
• Tests have revealed it’s not an issue with a specifc game or monitor
• There’s no fix yet, but hopefully Sony will release one soon

If you’ve been experiencing stuttering while playing games on your PS5 or PS5 Pro then you aren’t alone. And finally we might know what’s causing it, but on that front there’s good and bad news.

Many players have noticed that when playing games that support 120Hz VRR (variable refersh rate) there’s an occasional stutter. It usually takes about 20 minutes to begin stuttering, but once it does happen, the stutter recurs about every 8 seconds – and naturally, this regular cadence adds to the distraction it causes.
