Last Tuesday we detailed the news of season 4 of Call of Duty: Warzone. However, the update is accompanied by a great surprise for the PlayStation 5: support for 120 FPS. Yes, after seven months of waiting, finally Activision and Raven Software threw one of the most requested features. Obviously, the request came from enthusiastic players of the competitive experience.
When next-gen consoles hit the market last November, Warzone It was one of the first games to get on the train of the next-gen. While they released a new enhanced texture pack on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, only Microsoft’s console received support for 120 frames per second. The reason? The battle royale was running on backward compatibility mode limited to 60 FPS.
There are some points to consider if you want to play Warzone at 120 FPS on your PS5. First, you must have a TV with the right refresh rate, namely, 120 Hz. Some televisions that have been launched in recent years are already capable of reaching this rate thanks to the port HDMI 2.1. Another option is to purchase a monitor compatible with the aforementioned connection standard, although they are not cheap at all.
Do you have a compatible TV or monitor? The next step is make sure your PS5 has 120 Hz activated. To do this you must go to Settings> Display and video> Video output> Enable 120 Hz output and select “Automatic”. Later, go to Game / Application Settings and Saved Data> Default Game Settings> Performance Mode or Resolution Mode and select “Performance mode”. This is how easy you can play Warzone at 120 FPS on PS5.
Now, consider that activating the 120 FPS entails reducing the graphic quality of Warzone. Also, for the moment textures load too slow. We do not know if this situation will be resolved in a future update; there may be nothing to do due to shortcomings in backward compatibility mode. Although the PS5 community will appreciate the added support, most are still waiting for a native version of Warzone that really takes advantage of the potential of the new consoles.
