PS5: variable frequency is "a great idea" according to a developer

Unlike Xbox Series X, Sony’s upcoming console will feature dynamic frequency, which doesn’t necessarily have to be a limitation.

For Jan Kavan, developer of CBE Software on Someday You’ll Return, he assured that, if used well, Sony has a great idea on the table.

“It really depends on the type of game you play,” he begins by saying. “Variable frequency is a great idea, if it works correctly, because it is so versatile,” he says.

Sony says it is working to make the console a quieter system.
