120 fps support for next-gen consoles?
Xbox has released its price for Series S and X. Both consoles market 120 fps on some games. Also Ps5 is a capable machine too. Will Apex Legens have a 120 fps mode on Xbox Series S/X and Ps5?

- @turoturboG60 Doesn't matter if it's 30Hz or 240Hz, it won't make any difference in Apex with 20 tick servers. :P
- @turoturboG60 Well I can only say that that might be because you are still used to 30fps. Or even less and I don’t mean it in an offensive insult implying that you are slow. Lemme elaborate.
Most games are still 30fps. It’s been made to feel ‘fluid’ tho but you can detect something being ‘wrong’. That said, if you only play 60fps for even a year, you might still be hardwired to see the huge difference between 30 and 60. Know why? Movies!
Most movies and shows, even nowadays, still play in 24fps because that gives it it’s theatrical effect. Some movies up the ante to 30 but shows are usually the only ones going higher.
With 60 and 120, it’s much closer to the speed your eyes can catch upon so it looks like a lesser change, but it’s still a bigger leap in terms of actual frames than 30 and 60fps.
It’s like you are driving a car at 120 miles an hour while your opponent does 60. He’ll see you’re dust faster than when you are doing 60 and him doing 30 xD. Yeap. Two big things matter more than server tickrate though: gameplay experiense and aiming. Things happening on your screen makes everything. Everything else on the server side is almost irrelevant. Gameplay experience needs server side a little but it is mostly unseen.
- @turoturboG60 Doesn't matter if you have true aim and good movement when you still get shot behind cover or doors because it takes seconds for this game to realise what's going on which effects your experience. If you press your Q button to fast now, Lifeline doesn't even pop the drone out for example when it used to be instant.
With lower end hardware it'll probably be less noticeable but server side on apex doesn't keep up with modern computers which is why PC competitive is dead. - @apostolateofDOOM woah woah woah I read something about pushing lifelines q button and popping something.......
👀 @hayhor All the attention goes to Wraith but Lifeline has needs too!
Just got to take your time with her is all. 😉
- @apostolateofDOOM If you feel that you get shot behind cover. Then you have the same advantage against him coming out of cover. And coming out your aim and movement is desiding factor.
@turoturboG60Difference being what's shown on a lower end screen is more representative than a higher one.
Coming from someone who started playing Apex on a 60 to now 144Hz.- @apostolateofDOOM Was going to comment just that before deciding to read all replies lol.
120 won't make any damn difference, servers are clocked at 20hz I have the next gen Xbox my monitor states I’m at 120 but in game performance states I’m at 60FPS. Much clearer and faster speeds for sure in game play but it’s not allowing me to get the 120, based on the in game performance display ????? Pretty upset cause I see PC players stream with 144FPS ????
why would there be a difference in PC and console game performance. That’s not something on my end I have all the capabilities but the game doesn’t on console but does on PC????
