The next PS5 title to receive official variable refresh rate support is Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, with patch 1.0.3.0a adding the feature. Gearbox's latest looter shooter already appeared to have some sort of VRR implementation, but the newest update makes it official rather than simply relying on the PS5 as an unsupported game.
Released alongside the update is the second piece of DLC, titled Gluton's Gamble. You can get it as part of the season pass, or cough up £7.99/$9.99 for the singular expansion. "Trouble is brewing as Imelda, Witch of the Sand, unleashes her latest culinary creation—a potion that imbues her with a voracious appetite (and fearsome strength to boot)," the PS Store listing reads.
The update extends official VRR support on PS5 to exactly 15 games, with more likely to come. For a full list of All VRR Optimised Games for PS5, click the link. The patch in question also addresses a fairly long list of bugs and patches as well as tuning character classes and enchantments.

Be careful with the dlc patch it is erasing story progress on some

I'm really disappointed with Sony's lazy VRR implementation. I know Sony isn't a software company but cmon.
I just finished the main campaign last night and loved it, but I’ve heard the DLC is not that good. I might buy it down the road, but I’m going to hold off for now.
One thing I did have an issue with last night is that some of my trophies aren’t unlocking. I beat the game but didn’t get the trophy for it. It took damn near a day for my trophy for completing all side quests and finding a legendary weapon in the wild to pop. I had to close out my game and restart it for it to finally show I achieved it.
Tiny Tina DLC's are different than Borderlands 3. BL3 had story chapters and these are called "Content Drops" which are short, dense areas with new bosses meant to be rerun. If you love the grind, they are heaven, if you want more add-on characters and stories like BL3, this is not it. As such the season pass is most definitely optional.
Otherwise the game is a total blast, looks gorgeous, very funny, tons to do, play casual or meta, and a perfect intro to those who are Borderlands-curious. Gearbox said this week it has performed beyond what they expected, so I am excited for sequels and also (hopefully) a season 2 with story chapters.
I’m incredibly disappointed in the DLCs. I bought the deluxe edition because past Borderlands DLCs have been some of the best. This time though it’s just a massive repetitive grind fest, steer clear folks.
Was not into it at first but the more I played I really enjoyed it (The Bean Tree level is amazing) - I'll play the DLC at some point
My 4KTV has no VRR and have no plans to get a new one any time soon. So that is not really a feature for this generation for me (Lost Nvidia G-Sync when I moved my PC to it also)
It was Rock solid on the TV I have regardless.
Really surprised that this website did not report on 1. The new dlc and patch notes and 2. The awful bug that's resetting you character back to the start of the campaign. And or characters disappearing
@Relygon
Interesting. I want to get it eventually so should I just wait till the base version goes cheap and just skip the DLC? I'm not a grind player so if the DLC isn't more 'game' and just runs of something I'll skip that stuff.
@sword_9mm That’s what I would recommend, yes. The DLCs are essentially an extension of the end-game content called Chaos Chamber. You’re running through the same dungeon over and over. Zero story content.
@Relygon
Thanks for that info. These games quickly drop in price so instead of waiting for some full edition or season pass I'll just grab the base once it's dirt cheap.
It's sad too because I loved the B2 DLC stuff. I have B3 but haven't really played it as I just burned out after 1/2/pre-sequel.
@Toypop
The PS5 can force it like the XBSX but Sony's implementation is as lazy as they could do. Just the bog standard HDMI VRR. MS at least dropped the floor of their VRR to I believe 42 FPS or something like that. Sony just stuck to the 48fps floor so it isn't as good. Devs can patch in better as gearbox looks to have as I believe insomniac had theirs ready day 1 but if devs just rely on the PS5 OS it's not as good.
I'd have liked to see it dropped to like 31fps.
Happy to see this game is still being patched!
Maybe just me but I didn't feel this even needed VRR, runs smooth as hell already. Still a welcomed addition!
