One such thing is to live stream your gameplay on the internet. It offers native PS5 gameplay streaming support on YouTube and Twitch.

How to Change PlayStation 5 Gameplay Live Stream Resolution

You can also choose from different streaming resolutions as per your preference. Let’s have a look at how you can do that.

  1. From your PlayStation 5 home screen, navigate to the gear icon in the top right corner to visit Settings.
  2. Scroll down the settings menu until you find Captures and Broadcasts.
  3. Select Broadcasts > Video Quality to proceed.
  4. Choose your preferred live stream resolution: 1920×1080 at 60 fps, 1920×1080 at 30 fps, 1280×720 at 60 fps, and 1280×720 at 30 fps.

What Playstation 5 Gameplay Live Stream Resolution to Choose?

Choosing a higher live stream resolution means you will need stable high-speed internet connectivity. It will also consume more data, which means you should have an unlimited internet connection (Wi-Fi) if you plan to live stream for a long number of hours.

This is the reason 1920×1080 at 60 fps is the ideal live stream resolution but we suggest you opt for a lower resolution if you have unreliable internet connectivity or a limited data plan.
