How do you play PlayStation 5 games at 120 fps?

You can set 120 fps on your PlayStation 5 (Slim) via the home screen of your console. Go through the following steps to allow 120 fps.

• Step 1: click the cogwheel at the top right of the home screen.
• Step 2: select 'Display and video' under 'Settings'.
• Step 3: click 'Video output', scroll down, and click 'Allow 120Hz output'.
• Step 4: select 'Automatic'.

These settings are required for 120 fps gaming. Now you just need the right accessories for your gaming setup.

To game at 120 fps, you need the right HDMI cable. Without this HDMI cable you cannot play at 120 fps. Sony supplies an HDMI 2.1 cable as standard with the PlayStation 5. It is important that you use this HDMI cable for your console. Any other HMDI cable will result in a lower resolution of your game. You may play in 120 fps, but the quality of the gameplay deteriorates.

In addition to the settings of your PlayStation 5 (Slim) and a proper HDMI cable, your gaming monitor or TV is important too. This monitor or TV needs to have an HDMI 2.1 port. With this port, you can game at 120 fps up to 4K resolution. Keep in mind that this only applies for games that support this resolution and refresh rate. Does your gaming monitor or TV have an HDMI 2.0 connector? You can only game at 120 fps at 1440p.

Not all games are suitable for a refresh rate of 120 fps. This means you can just play at 120 fps with a couple of games. Large games like Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Formula 1 support this refresh rate. Do you want to be sure your game runs at 120 fps? Check the specifications of the game online.
