First off, visit PS5's Settings, navigate to Screen and Video, and toggle on ALLM to Automatic within Video Output. With this, you'll be able to relish low latency during your playthrough.

You can also improve your experience by turning on Trigger Effect Intensity and Vibration Intensity in the Accessories section of PS5 Settings. Medium is the recommended setting for both options. Navigate to Controller (General) to make these adjustments.
