Sony has confirmed that PS5 will not have 1440p resolution or 2K natively. As with the PS4 Pro, the image will be resized.
Little by little the launch of PS5 is approaching, which, for those who need to know, will not be sold in physical stores during its first days. Details are gradually being revealed to consumers. One that has hardly transpired but will be important to a large number of people is that the PS5 will not natively support 1440p / 2K resolutions.

PS5 is not made for PC monitors
It should be said that these 1440p / 2K resolutions are those of a PC monitor. It is a resolution designed to be used while standing next to it, with the screen in front and very close so that the resolution, despite being small, feels much larger than it is.
What does it mean that PS5 doesn't natively support these 1440p / 2k resolutions? It means that if we connect it to our monitor with these resolutions, the console will rescale the image from 1080p or 4K, with which there will be some loss of quality due to interpolation. Most likely, the loss of quality is not noticeable, but it does not stop giving a bad taste in the mouth that they have not thought that there will be players who play with the console on their PC monitor.
This doesn't make PS5 games unplayable on a PC monitor, not at all. The consoles are designed to be played mostly on televisions, from a sofa a few meters away and that is why it uses the most common resolutions for that player profile. This possibly affects a considerable number of people who do not have a 1080p or 4k monitor and instead the monitor they would play the PS5 with is 1440p. It is a percentage of gamers, but Sony may think that it is not large enough to take it into account and adapt the console to that resolution.
