EDIT: Hi all, we wanted to add some context for why PS5 players won't be able to play at 120 fps. Our team’s main focus this year was our recent free to play transition, and updating major features like our Tournaments system. While working on these updates, we had to make some tough decisions on what else we could achieve. Enabling 120hz on Xbox Series X|S is a minor patch, but enabling it on PS5 requires a full native port due to how backwards compatibility is implemented on the console, and unfortunately this wasn’t possible due to our focus elsewhere.
