PS5 VRR System Update Tested and Discussed - Is It a Game-Changer?

Last week, Sony enabled VRR (variable refresh rate) support on the PS5. After testing 20+ titles, John and Alex meet to compare notes, discuss the benefits of the new feature and define some of its limitations in its current form. Note: We briefly discuss Returnal's VRR mode, but this appears to have been disabled after a recent patch - hopefully to return.
