Sony has rolled out a new firmware update to PlayStation 5 consoles worldwide earlier today. The new patch, 22.01-05.50.00, does actually bring a major new feature – or more accurately, the ability to turn it off. We’re talking about Auto Low Latency Mode, or ALLM.
ALLM allows the console to take control of the TV and automatically switch to the mode with the lowest input lag, which is typically the TV’s game mode. The TV goes out of ALLM when you exit a game and launch a movie, which is all well and good.
ALLM first arrived on PS5 with the highly anticipated Variable Refresh Rate – VRR – update in April. Unfortunately, the way it was implemented meant that it was active all the time.
