Looking for a definitive list of all the PS5 120fps games? Youโve come to the right place. Both the PS5 Disc and Digital models let you play PlayStation 5 games at higher frame rates than previously possible on a console, and many of the best PS5 games support the feature that was once exclusively reserved for high-end gaming PCs.
But what are the benefits of playing games at 120 frames per second? Smoother and more responsive gameplay, essentially. Playing at a higher frame rate can be a game-changer for those who have never experienced it before, and itโs easy to see why PC gamers swear by getting the highest frame rates possible. Even the latest smartphones have started to feature high refresh rate screens for smooth scrolling.

Competitive gamers will benefit most from 120fps games on PS5 as thereโs less input lag to deal with. When playing at 120 frames per second, the update time for each frame is 8ms, compared to 16ms when playing at 60fps and 32ms when playing at 30fps. When the speed of a button press can decide between winning or losing, itโs understandable that pro gamers always opt to play at the highest frame rates.
Playing at 120fps also helps with motion clarity and can reduce motion sickness, which makes it an appealing option, even for single-player games. As each frame time is updated faster, thereโs less chance of ghosting, smearing, or other visual artifacts that can be off-putting when playing a game at a lower frame rate like 30fps.
Developers can also use 120Hz to unlock the frame rate of 60fps games, giving you more frames to play with and squeezing out some extra responsiveness in the process. Check out all the PS5 games with 120fps support below and check back regularly as new titles are added. ๐
๐ Looking for all the Xbox Series X 120fps games?
Weโre seeing more titles get 120fps support on PS5, including some of Sonyโs first-party games like Horizon Forbidden West, Marvelโs Spider-Man: Miles Morales, God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Make sure you head into each gameโs settings to see whether it has a high frame rate mode, as it may not be on by default. Youโll also need to enable 120Hz in the PS5โs system settings, which weโll explain below.
Not every game on this list will hit a locked 120fps, but they all support 120Hz, meaning you can get higher frame rates than 60fps or 30fps. The PS5โs recent VRR support has allowed several developers to use 120Hz to offer unlocked 60fps mode in games like The Last of Us Part 1 and Horizon Forbidden West, so you can enjoy more responsive and smoother gameplay. Make sure you have a HDMI 2.1-compliant display to take advantage of the PS5โs VRR mode.
Those with 120Hz displays can also play some games on this list at 40fps, which is a noticeable bump over 30fps. Even though youโre not getting the silky-smooth response of 120fps, some developers are still making use of that extra headroom to provide a more enjoyable and responsive experience.

Did we miss any games? Let us know in the comments below or drop Adam a message on X @ItsMrProducts. You can also see whatโs coming out soon with our upcoming PS5 games list.
How do I play PS5 games at 120fps?
To experience 120fps PS5 games, youโll need a TV or monitor with an HDMI 2.1 port. The easiest way to see if your display supports high frame rates is to head to the PS5โs settings and then click on โScreen and Videoโ. From the โVideo Outputโ submenu, scroll down to โEnable 120Hz Outputโ. If youโre unable to turn this feature on, then your display is not capable of playing games at 120fps on PS5. Youโll also need to enable VRR for games that support 40fps modes or unlocked frame rates.
๐ Weโve put the PS5 vs Xbox Series X head-to-head
The two terms are used interchangeably, but there are a few important things to note. Hertz (Hz) refers to the number of times a display refreshes per second, while frames per second (fps) is the number of individual images generated by a console or a PC. A game may support 120fps, but if you donโt have a 120Hz capable display, you wonโt be able to experience it. Similarly, if youโre playing a 60fps game on a 120Hz display, you wonโt be able to hit 120fps unless the game supports it.
Are there any downsides to playing PS5 games at 120fps? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
To ensure that a game can hit frame rates as high as 120fps, developers will often lower the resolution of PS5 games. That means some titles will target a resolution of 1440p or 1080p, resulting in a loss of picture clarity. Some graphical features may also be reduced, such as shadow quality, foliage density and draw distance.
However, the smoothness that 120fps provides can often make up for the drop in resolution, and in online multiplayer games, a faster frame rate can make all the difference. Youโre also less likely to be focused on minor graphical details to care about the decrease in fidelity.
Thereโs been a recent trend where PS5-only games like A Plague Tale: Requiem and Gotham Knights failed to offer a 60fps mode, let alone a 120fps option. However, A Plague Tale: Requiem has since received a patch that lets it exceed 60fps at the cost of resolution.
Weโve seen a lot of cross-gen games in the three years the PS5 has been out, and some commentators have suggested that current-gen games will opt for more graphically demanding features in the future like ray tracing instead of aiming for higher frame rates. (Hereโs every PS5 game with ray tracing support in 2024.)
I always prefer to have a smoother frame rate over more graphical fidelity, and thankfully 30fps-only titles are a rarity. If Sony releases a more powerful PS5 Pro, this problem could also be circumvented. Most of Sonyโs first-party games also offer an unlocked 60fps or 40Hz mode as opposed to truly aiming for the heady heights of 120fps, but hopefully, the list of 120fps PS5 games will continue to grow in the future.
