Will the next gen consoles get 120Hz mode?
As an owner of the series X I hope 120Hz mode is going to be available!

@Player55120hz yes, 4K yes. 8K probably not.

Hi @carsono311 ,
When/where did EA promise that we would have 120 fps on our new gen consoles please now when playing BF2042?
It would be so super cool if the case, as when first tried playing some gaming on the 120 its hard to go back.
8K is just another monitor resolution and I think 8K support will probably be in the game (on PC at least). But in reality it will need a not yet released GPU to run acceptable.
Just like many existing games, they can already run 8K, but still existing GPUs are not really up for that.
8K support on consoles is a marketing thing more than a realistic option.
Even 4K gaming is a struggle for most GPUs, 8K is way more demanding. And things like DLSS and FSR will probably not be enough to run at 8K, with acceptable FPS and graphic fidelity.
I only saw 60fps + but not 120fps😕

Yeah me too @TuiskuSuomaa ,
But @carsono311 's link to a Xbox page does quote the 120 FPS, which is a big surprise to me, as haven't seen/heard EA representatives themselves yet commit to this. Only the 60 FPS. And the PS5 world also only refer to the 60 FPS spec.
Yes, both the Xbox X/S and the PS5 can run in 120 FPS mode, but if the game is not designed for it and utilizing it, then it doesnt matter because your frame rates will not improve above the aka 60 FPS then. Its a bit like the resolution on your screen. If a photo is taken with an old camera at 800x480 pixels, then that is what is being shown on your screen, even if you have a 4k screen..
Now Xbox has been promoted as 'partner' by EA for the Battlefield franchise, so maybe that is giving them a headstart on something. But would be interested to see EA come out with their clear specs for all their supported platforms, including PS5 and PCs. Its miserable that we are getting so close to launch and they have still not done so.
