If you own a PlayStation 5, you likely want to use its best features. One of the most noticeable features is its frame rate.
Most PS5 games run at least 60 frames per second (FPS).,you can play at 120 FPS and 4K UHD resolution. Here’s how to ensure you get the best FPS and game quality on your PS5.
How To Achieve 120 FPS on Your PS5?
Your PS5 should automatically use the best frame rate and resolution your TV or monitor can handle. If something is set up wrong, you can change your PS5 settings to get the best quality.
To get 120 frames per second, your TV or monitor must support 120Hz. You can find this information when buying the TV or in the manual if you already own one.
120Hz is only on some midrange and high-end models. For the best experience, find a TV that runs in 4K and 120Hz. Check our guide to the best TVs for top recommendations. Look for “120Hz” or “144Hz” in the specifications.
The HDMI cable that comes with your PS5 is good, but older cables might not work.
Which PS5 Games Run at 120 FPS?
60 FPS is still the norm for video game consoles. Therefore, only a few PS5 games will run at 120 FPS, even with the right hardware.
Tips to Boost Your PS5 to Its Highest FPS
