Looking for Xbox Series X 120fps games? Microsoft’s diminutive tower of power can play games at high frame rates, and it’s the console with the most 120fps compatible games by some margin.

But why is playing games at 120fps so appealing? Well, you get smoother and more gameplay, which is a win in our book.

Higher frame rates can decide between a win and a loss if you're a competitive gamer. That’s because input lag is significantly reduced, which means your button presses will register faster than if you were playing at a lower frame rate. The update time for each frame at 120fps is 8ms, 16ms when playing at 60fps, and 32ms at 30fps. It’s easy to see why pro gamers opt to play at the highest frame rate possible, then.

Another benefit of playing Xbox Series X games at120fps is that it helps with motion clarity and can even reduce motion sickness. There’s less chance of visible ghosting, blur, or other distracting visual artifacts often occurring at games with lower frame rates. Check out all the Xbox Series X games with 120fps support below. 👇

Microsoft's flagship console has an impressive list of 120fps games available, including titles such as Halo Infinite, Sea of Thieves, and Gears 5. Check each game’s settings to see whether its high frame rate mode is enabled, as it may not be turned on by default.

How do I play Xbox Series X games at 120fps?

To play supported Xbox Series X games at 120fps, you’ll need a TV or monitor with an HDMI 2.1 port. The quickest way to see whether your display supports high frame rates is to go to the Xbox Series X’s settings and click on ‘TV & display options’ in the ‘General’ submenu. Next, click on ‘4K TV details’ to see every feature your display supports. You can also click on ‘Refresh rate’ under ‘Resolution,’ where you should see a 120 Hz option if your TV supports it.

• 🆚 Can’t decide between the PS5 vs Xbox Series X?

What’s the difference between 120fps and 120Hz?

Hertz (Hz) refers to the number of times a display refreshes per second, and frames per second (or fps) is the number of individual images generated by a console or a PC. Even though the two terms are used interchangeably, there are a few things to note. If a game supports 120fps, you won’t be able to experience it if you don’t have a 120Hz display. Similarly, if you’re playing a game that runs at 60fps on a 120Hz display, the game won’t run at 120fps unless it supports high frame rates.
