PlayStation 5 users are being urged to change a simple setting on their console immediately for the best possible gaming experience.
The latest generation in the PlayStation lineup of consoles already offers a fantastic gaming experience, with the PS5 Pro, which released in November, offering better graphics than ever seen before.
However, just a slight alteration of the settings menu can make a big difference - and even make your games look even more crystal clean.

You may not want to navigate through the tricky settings menu, but this simple change is a game changer and really easy to do.
To make the change, you'll first need to understand whether your TV supports HGiG or not.
Tom's Guide explains that if your TV does support it, it's better to enable HGiG - which stands for HDR Gaming Interest Group - in order to 'get the most accurate tone mapping in games that support the feature'.
One game that supports this is Spider-Man: Miles Morales - and what a game it is. Not that the game needed any improvement, but if you can swing from building to building with the best quality possible, why wouldn't you?
Tom's Guide explains that you can leave the setting on and it shouldn't affect other games - ie ones that don't support HGiG.
Once HGiG is enabled, you can then go to 'Adjust HDR'. You'll then need to follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the HDR.
Another setting to change is VRR - aka Variable Refresh Rate - which is a new feature that lets the TV adjust its refresh rate in relation to the PlayStation's frame rate output.
There are two options to toggle from - off and automatic. If your telly supports it, you can leave it on automatic, but if not, it's best to turn it off.
VRR ultimately allows smoother playback, which will result in fewer lags.
According to Tom's Guide, simply making these two adjustments should have your games looking their absolute best.
The likes of Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Hogwarts Legacy have never looked better!
In other PlayStation News, people have been left shocked after finding out what the PlayStation buttons actually mean.
Video game news Twitter account Genki took to the platform to offer a 'reminder' of the original 'meaning of the PlayStation symbols according to original PlayStation Designer Teiyu Goto! #PlayStation30thAnniversary'.
The post reveals: "X - No
"○ - Yes
"△ - Viewpoint (head/direction)
"□ - Piece of Paper (menu/ documents)."
