This week, a piece of news came out in the gaming circle that made players dumbfounded.CAPCOM The update patch launched for “Resident Evil Village (Resident Evil: Village/Resident Evil: Village)” not only did not bring the expected optimization, but directly made it worse. PlayStation 5 Pro（PS5 Pro） Players lose the originally supported high frame rate enhanced mode. In other words, the terrifying experience that was originally able to reach 120Hz on TVs that support high refresh rates, was only reduced to 60Hz after the update, leaving many players stunned on the spot.
PS5 Pro is useless, the high refresh rate disappears directly
According to reports from multiple players, after updating the application, even when using a PS5 Pro console with a display device that supports 120Hz, the original high frame rate mode can no longer be enabled. Moreover, the relevant options in the screen setting options disappeared directly, as if this function had never existed. What’s even more confusing is that this change was not clearly stated in the official update log, so many players initially thought it was a mistake in their settings. After repeatedly checking the TV and console options, they discovered that it had actually been removed.
The official response is very conservative, players can only wait.
After the problem was amplified, some players tried to contact official customer service to inquire about the situation, but most of the responses they received so far were just the standard statement of “Feedback has been received and under investigation”, without explaining whether this was a bug, a compatibility issue, or a deliberate adjustment. This unclear situation has also led to various speculations in the community. Some people are worried that the new version will have performance conflicts on PS5 Pro, while others suspect that high refresh rate support is temporarily turned off for stable performance.
Will it be repaired? No one can guarantee at present
Player reactions are currently divided into two groups. One group believes that the game can still be played normally, but the lack of 120Hz is just not as smooth and the impact is limited; the other group is completely unacceptable and bluntly stated that since it has been officially supported, it should not be silently canceled. Especially for horror game players who value presence, dynamic vision and instant reaction, the high refresh rate is already one of the core selling points of PS5 Pro. For these players, this update is equivalent to evaporating the advantages of high-end hardware in an instant.
As of now, Capcom has not given a clear timetable for restoring 120Hz support through subsequent patches, nor has it stated whether this change is a temporary measure or a long-term adjustment. Before the official announcement, PS5 Pro players may have no choice but to continue to use 60Hz to endure the terrifying journey, and once again experience the reality that updates do not necessarily equal upgrades.
