One of the cool features of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S is the ability to play games at up to 120 frames per-second, providing a new level of smooth performance never before seen in Xbox history.
Originally, this feature was only limited to a set number of titles, but that number has grown as more developers have taken advantage of the Xbox Series X and S. So, what games are advertised to support 120FPS? Let's take a look.
What Do I Need To Play Xbox Series X & S Games At 120FPS?
Before we get into it, it's important to note that not everyone will be able to take advantage of this feature.
For starters, you'll need a television or monitor capable of outputting 120Hz (sometimes advertised as 100Hz by retailers in Europe - ask if you're unsure!). If you then also want to play games at 4K resolution as well as 120 frames per second (where supported), you'll require a TV or monitor with an HDMI 2.1 port.
How Does FPS Boost Work With 120FPS Games On Xbox Series X|S?
120FPS support comes in two main forms on Xbox - a selection of 'FPS Boost' titles, and games that are 'Optimized for Xbox Series X|S' and can run at 120 frames per second. FPS Boost games are titles from the Xbox 360 and Xbox One eras that have higher frame rates on current-gen consoles, while 120FPS 'Optimized' games are releases that have been built natively for Xbox Series X|S.
Below, we've gathered every FPS Boost title that supports 120FPS, along with every major Xbox Series X|S release that features 120FPS support.

Neat. I wish I had a 120Hz-capable TV.
Heck, I am still using a 1080p TV from 2010, so I don't get much benefit at all with these new consoles except for super-sampling (well, and being able to play the latest games and backwards compatible titles using the full horsepower of the Series X).
No, I am not getting a Series S just because I only have a 1080p TV.
@thejameswhogames I just picked up one of those recently.
@thejameswhogames Very happy! Excellent picture, looking forward to making that jump.
Feel like "60fps is the target" shouldn't be included. With more and more 30fps games gonna be popping up as the standard output on them, even Aaron Greenberg, the worst marketing exec ever, has gone back and deleted his "60fps will be the default output" tweet.
@Menchi I wouldn't call it the default, but it's definitely the target. That doesn't mean every game will reach it.
"Designed to deliver games in 4K at 60 FPS with support for up to 120 FPS, Xbox Series X represents a superior balance of power and speed with no compromises for developers."
My TV will only allow for 4k/60 or 1080p/120 - curious to find out which I end up preferring.
Don't you also need a 48Gbps HDMI cable to get 4k/120Hz?
@Thretosix Thanks for the info - makes sense!
I'm buying a Samsung Q80T 75" TV, has all the stuff I need to showcase the best this next Gen has to offer! Was going to get an 85" but could not find a TV stand that would fit the space I have (technically I did but it would had cost me over 2k)
So getting a new TV stand by next Tuesday, and ordering the TV so it arrives after the stand, but before the Series X!
@FraserG @thejameswhogames
That tv runs up to 100 fps? Right
@Ridwaano The one I just bought (the LG Nano866NA) goes up to 120FPS, but it's advertised in the UK as a 100Hz TV.
So it's worth checking!
120 fps is cool and all but I guess it'll come at the expense of visual fidelity. I'll be perfectly happy with 4K and 60 fps (still don't believe that most games will hit that mark, 4K/30 is what I'm expecting).
It's a nice thing to try out but generally not fussed about it at all as there will be too much of a resolution and general graphical downgrade required to run at 120fps.
I think 120 will be relegated to MP most of the time and at a visual cost. There really isn't much point in doing 120 hz in single player games unless it can do it at no cost to visuals imo.
@Thretosix I think 60 fps is the sweet middle spot for console games. RT will pull fps down to 30 and isn't worth it unless it is used properly, such as for really good global illumination, not just reflections. 120 is great for MP but will sacrifice visuals and doesn't make sense for single player or co op. 4k@60 w/o RT will bring good visuals and frame rate both. RT won't be missed unless it truly and significantly changes the whole visual landscape. I have yet to see that happen yet with real time RT except for maybe Minecraft.
Woohoo!! 120 fps gaming is here!! Just need to wait until xbox series ZZ or PS7 before I get a TV to utilise it. Still unlikely to be using 4K for another 10 years.
Unfortunately bought a 1080p Sony Bravia few years back so if it lasts even half as long as the last Sony TV then got another 10 years to wait until I can make the most of these machines
Who all has a tv for this? Anyone play on a monitor? I have 4K 60 without HDR so i won't be seeing the benefits until i get a new TV. I'm all on fir the loading speeds for myself. If that S had a disk drive I would have been all over that but because it doesn't I got an X... which is stuck in Memphis!!
Only bought a 4k tv a few months back, had to twist the missus arm just to get one at £400 so no way was I ever getting a TV that does 120fps
I don't see many games supporting 4k/120 in the future. I'm fortunate to have a 4k/120 capable TV, but I'd be more than happy with 4k/60 to be honest. Games will still look great.
It’s good for anyone who has it but I don’t know 120fps seems kind of niche right now. Same as VRR, a very small % of console owners have TVs capable.
I’d rather not have reduced graphics just for the sake of something being 120fps either, it’s going forward to only to take a step back especially when 60fps is really nice anyway.
Having now tried it on several games including Ori and Gears 5 I can honestly say I prefer playing in a smooth 60fps with the additional graphical bells and whistles. It doesn't seem like a huge step up in the same way that 30 to 60 fps is.
My 60 FPS TV won't know the difference but it's great that it's an option for those looking for this. It's a big jump this gen bringing these machines more in line with PC to help move the whole bar forward. How long before SSD's are min spec for all games?
Playing from 30fps to 60fps is a good difference on my series x. But when playing from 60fps to 120fps a few of us don’t really see much difference so far. It’s another one of these let’s chase and sound all fab and technically, look what we can do. I would rather time spent on producing a better game and more graphical vivid game.
To me a waste of developers time and console power.
Let just stick to 30fps all graphical bells and whistles, native 4K, RT etc the best the game can look.
Then 60fps with some graphical cut down.
Bloody 120fps what a dam waste from what i have played.
@Dezzy70 I don’t get it, we’re finally starting to see 60fps as standard, which is great as a console player and suddenly 120fps is being pushed. One step at a time please!
To note: Halo Master Chief Collection DOES NOT support FOV with 120hz setting. It did prior but they removed this. So you have to choose between which you want. A FOV that isn't nauseating or a frame rate that isn't nauseating and choppy.
There was no good reason for this and they just hand waived and explanation.
@Fenbops
I think most of it is say my console or game can do 120fps can yours etc etc.
So they waste their time putting it in and knocking the hell out of the graphics.
There’s very little point to 120fps.
60fps yes you can feel and see it compared to 30fps.
The Nintendo Switch can’t manage any of this and look how many they have sold and their games.
When will the others learn.
So far I have only tried Halo: MCC, Rocket league, and dirt 5 at 120 fps.
Of those, I that Halo was the most noticeable. It felt amazing to play at that frame rate. Rocket league was also quite nice. Dirt 5 had to drop the resolution and image quality too much for me. Curios what other people’s favorites have been!
@Xiovanni I've got the 49' version of the Nano 866, and personally I find it to be a fantastic TV regardless of the content I'm playing / watching on it.
That said, I'm far from a TV expert and I'm coming from a 2013 1080p display, so you might find flaws in it that I'm not really looking for.
The only real downside that I can notice is the backlight bleed, which lights up part of the screen during particularly dark scenes, although admittedly I only ever really see it when I initially turn on the TV. You can alter the local dimming settings to make it far less prevalent, which for me is perfectly fine. I don't notice it when I'm playing.
Halo MCC in120 fps is spectacular. Played them all when they came out and loved them then and it’s a much better experience now.
Unfortunately on Halo playing with 120hz restricts to FOV to nauseating levels.
They removed the FOV slider on consoles with 120hz enabled.
Supposedly looking into bringing it back but nothing solid yet.
I've personally shelved and uninstalled MCC until this is fixed.
I really liking the 120fps option for games especially for Overwatch where I have my monitor with 120hz refresh rate, and VRR. I might get myself an HDMI splitter at some point where I don't have to switch HDMI between my 4k/60hz TV for single player games, or play local games with my cousin, and my monitor for pvp games like Overwatch.
@FraserG My LG tv is regarded the same, but the XSX says it supports 120hz and it's labelled as 120hz on the hdmi port at the back. The LG website says 100hz. Talk to LG staff and they always say 100hz. They don't even know their own products.
@ymo1965 the PAL standard in Europe++ is 25 fps, or 50 if we double it. 100 Hz fits the PAL standard, and 120Hz fits the NTSC standard (29.97 fps) wich is 30 fps for HDMI.
So wether you are using the PAL or NTSC source, a HDMI display will play either 25/50/100 fps or 30/60/120 fps.
I bought a LG - OLED65CX6LA 65" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR OLED TV on Saturday. It arrives on Thursday. I've had my eye on it since I first learned of the Series X being capable of 120fps sometime last year. I had hoped it would reduce in price in the Easter sales, but nope! Fortunately, I noticed that Curry's were doing £200 off if you used a code, so that brought the price down to £1600. So cannot wait to set it up...
@RukaChan yeah, the problem is that there are no switches with 120hz e vrr passthrough.
Wait a minute, is Mass Effect Legendary Edition coming to Game Pass? I highly doubt that.
Anyone here with a 120hz tv can tell me if you really notice the 120fps and it's worth it or is it barely different from 60fps?
@AFCC I have a 144hz monitor for my PC and games like GTAV and DOOM at 100fps plus are noticably much smoother then any 60fps game I've ever played. A TV like that would be worth it to get VRR which then also benefits many 60fps games too by effectively hiding any drops
I have the LG C9 (2019), the first model to have HDMI 2.1 😁.
@AFCC I feel a competitive advantage in online multiplayer games like rocket league. I’ve played it on the ps4 and the switch and now with my X and my skill ceiling has raised me to a higher degree of platinum. I’ve played sea of thieves on my laptop and moved to my x and the buttery smoothness makes it way more enjoyable and beautiful.
Whenever this is updated and reposted, it would be nice if they told us what was added.
@carlos82 @Halucigens thanks for your opinions, guys!
@Fiendish-Beaver I have a 2016 C model OLED and the picture on that is stunning. The new ones are even better so I get the feeling you're really going to enjoy that purchase
I play my Xbox Series X on a Dell S2721DGF gaming monitor. That monitor does allow you to experience the 120 FPS mode for these games. It is definitely a game changer. I love it!
The only downside is the monitor is 1440P, so I do miss out a little bit on the 4K part. Maybe in a few years, 4K/120Hz monitors and TVs will be common and less expensive.
Oh good, another bump to the list without telling us what was added…
My rule: 1080@60FPS all maxed out or I dont bother to play it.
4k, 120hz, HDR, whatever trendy BS is irrelevant.
Anything new added to the list?
Please focus on vrr instead of 60 or 120 fps. No compromises on picture quality. 40-50 fps is more than enough and with vrr it´s still fluent! Just add an option to lock to 30 for those who do not have a vrr tv.
Thank you for this list!
At this point, due to them being less common, I prioritize buying 120hz games over others. This list just made that 100x easier.
I read a couple comments that asked who actually has a tv that can support these features... And I got my Xbox Series X launch day, and remember feeling like I was missing out on half the features by not having a new legit tv. So a week later after ome research, I had a brand new LG that has been truly amazing. The tv's UI even is so much cooler and nicer than what I previously had. It almost functions like a Nintendo Wii would back in the day when using the tv remote on the menus... you point it like a joycon pretty much. N the features have actually even made a few games run in general better by taking the frame tearing away. A baller new TV can be around a grand, but just save up until you are ready
Love this list. It still comes up in Google results, so it might drive more traffic to the site of you decided to update it.
Good idea @PopularCorpse! After two years, we've finally given this list a proper refresh and added a bunch more 120FPS titles.
Nice to see the updated list. 120fps is such a game changer. Even for single player games. The mass Effect Trilogy at 120fps was amazing.
It would be great if you could add more details to the list such as whether resolution is affected by 120hz mode. For example Grid Legends runs on Series X at 4k 60fps but 1440p 120fps (and lower graphical fidelity).
Choice is good - but often it is confusing!
Amazed at how many people still don't have 4k TVs. That's pretty much all stores sell these days and they are super cheap to buy.
(March 2024): Article has been updated with some new additions. Let us know if you see anything we've missed!
@StylesT lol.
Only thing that would make this list include the resolutions each consoles is running that 120fps as well.
I know some things like Battlefield 4 still run at their original 720p. Would still just be nice so if someone just wanted a high framerate game that doesn't look like you're playing through a screen door.
@FraserG Correct me if I'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure Modern Warfare (2019) is still locked at 60fps on console.
Hyperscape has 120hz? I might give that a try tomorrow.
@SnowKasumi Hyperscape got shut down in April 2022
@ChopstickPhilly Hmm, it did used to work, but apparently the option was taken away at some point. I'll remove it - thanks for letting me know.
@FraserG Of course, and thank you for updating this list.
I really do enjoy you keep this list up.
Thank you.
Halo Infinite campaign also runs at 120fps, at least on Series X, not just multiplayer
List has been updated with a few new additions - specifically The Finals, Marvel Rivals and The Thing: Remastered!
Having a PC with a 165Hz monitor, I finally appreciate high frame rate.
Visually, I couldn't tell you if a game was running at 60 or 120fps, but the near-instant input response is wonderful - especially for games where timing is critical.
@FraserG I'm sure I'm not the only one but I have a 120hz TV without HDMI 2.1 so I can lower the console output resolution to 1440p and still get 120fps. I'd obviously prefer 4K 60 in most cases but some games are worth having the extra fps and some of these new 120hz vrr graphical options such as 'quality 40fps' are really great for games like Avatar.
I thought Resident Evil 4 got 120hz support? No?
My current tv will support either 2160p60 or 1440p120. Not both together. I tend to play 2160p60. I have tested 120Hz on a handful of games and to be honest, can’t really tell a difference. Well, apart from some stutter. However, I have now bought a new tv that is due to arrive next week. This one supports all of the bells and whistles of HDMI 2.1 so let’s see if I can notice the 120Hz option then, now in 4K…
Just picked up a 65" Samsung S90D. Everything looks amazing.
Hunt Showdown 1896 also let's you hit 120fps.
@SCHONBOB try it out on Halo Infinite, I think there's a notable difference, it's just a lot smoother. Your TV probably also supports VRR & some other tech to keep everything fluid on screen for frame rate drops. 30 to 60 is pretty noticeable. 60 to 120 is a nice to have but I often find myself picking whatever gives me the highest fps over graphics, so will always go down in resolution if I can get more frames.
Sporting LG OLED 55” C3 120hz VRR, absolutely the business with Series X 👍🏻
