Modern Warfare 2: How to Enable 120 FPS and 120hz Output

For those playing the new Modern Warfare 2 release on a TV with a next-gen console (namely the PS5), you can play Modern Warfare 2 at 120 FPS/120hz. Here’s a quick guide on how to enable 120 FPS and 120hz output. 

How to Enable 120 FPS and 120hz Output in Modern Warfare 2

As the first beta weekend for Modern Warfare 2 comes to a close, PlayStation users on a PS5 may be facing some technical issues when it comes to reaching a 120 FPS/120hz output rate. Users are reporting 60 FPS, despite making the adjustments required by enabling the appropriate settings.

Possible bugs aside, there are a couple of technical setting adjustments you can make to tinker the FPS/output. 

• Head over to Settings. Select the option for “Screen and Video.”
• Select the “Screen Output” tab.
• Ensure that the “120hz Output” is set to “Automatic.” 
• Ensure “HDR” is turned off.
• Exit “Screen and Video” settings.
• Head over to “Saved Data and Game/App Settings” and then to “Game Presets.”
• Ensure “Performance Mode” is turned on. 

Double-checking all of these settings should ensure that you have optimal output for 120 FPS/120hz enabled. However, if you’re still facing technical issues you do have one more mode of adjusting the frame rate and output. 

• Close Modern Warfare 2
• Head to the PS5 Settings, and select the option for “Saved Data and Game/App Settings.”
• Look for the option for “Saved Data (PS5).”
• Select “Console Storage.”
• Choose the option for “Delete.”
• Look until you find “Modern Warfare 2 Beta” and select the “Delete” option there.
