Developer Psyonix announced the addition of a 120hz mode to Rocket League on the PlayStation 5 in a post on the PlayStation Blog. The mode will be available starting tomorrow, August 18th.

Players can now choose between Quality and Performance video quality modes through a new Video Quality setting in the Video Settings menu.

4K resolution at 60 frames per second with HDR is enabled in the quality mode. The use of HDR requires an HDR10-compliant display and an HDMI 2.0 cable or better, and the use of a 4K capable display is required to enjoy 4K content. While in this mode, if you are using a 1080p display, Rocket League will render at 1080p supersampled from 4K resolution.

Meanwhile, Rocket League is run in performance mode with a resolution of 2688x1512 (70 percent of full 4K) and 120 frames per second with HDR.

The game's user interface is displayed in 4K resolution in this mode. A 4K display is required for 4K playback, as was previously stated. On a 1080p display, Rocket League renders at 1080p supersampled from a 2688x1512 resolution.

A compatible display, as well as an Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 cable, are required for HDR and 120 frames per second.

Even though Rocket League does not yet have a native PS5 app (it can still be accessed through backward compatibility on Sony's current-gen console), it is exciting to see Psyonix release this update for Sony's current-generation console.

In order to help prevent content creators' streams or videos from being disrupted by potential infringement, a new audio setting has been added that will automatically filter music featured in Rocket League Season 4 and disable any songs that are copyright protected.
