Read more to know more about the first 8k video game for PS5. 

The Touryst could be the 1st PS5 game to support 8K 60 FPS resolution 

Sony is yet to activate the 8K resolution feature on their PS5 which means that The Touryst can not be played on 8K 60 FPS resolution as of now. But the developers could activate this feature by simply releasing a system update. Makers have not activated their console’s 8K resolution feature yet and it could be because of the lack of games with compatibility for such high-definition images. But The Touryst has an option to deliver a 7680×420 or 8K resolution render but the system automatically downsizes it to a 4K image currently. 

Achieving an 8K resolution without using any features like temporal super-sampling, checker boarding, DLSS-like upscaling and more is certainly very impressive. Sony cloud release this system update. A popular developer, Shin’en also named that the game’s 8K feature could be used only after Sony releases this system update. There is a possibility that the Japanese game developers could expand their playlist before releasing this update. No official statements have been made about any upcoming updates from Sony.
