The blog post says that you will need hdmi 2.1 in order to get 120 FPS.... even though hdmi 2.0 can support it

My monitor is only hdmi 2.0 and I’m using an hdmi 2.0 wire, does that mean I won’t get 120 FPS?

Thanks for the tag! If I understand correctly, the new Xbox consoles still treat this like a 4K 120 signal coming in - while the gameplay might not be full 4K, the Xbox UI, etc. will be -- which is why HDMI 2.1 is needed. This is a platform-level requirement, so I think other titles on Xbox Series S|X that offer 120 fps will require HDMI 2.1 to access the same kind of performance as well.

I would definitely try it before you invest in a new display or cable. Talking to our graphics engineer, it sounds like you can do 120 fps at 1080p if you're on a 1440p display with HDMI 2.0.

Regardless of what happens, shoot me a DM once you have your Series X and let me know if 120 fps works!
