Why No 120FPS on PS5?

PS5 is a bit weirder than fans might realise at first glance.

On Xbox Series X, Microsoft are allowing developers to simply patch backwards compatible games to turn them into Series X games, this includes easy addition of 4K and 120FPS.

Though for the PS5, developers need to create a whale new port of their games to be able to upgrade them. 

It’s why the was all the faff with the Spider-man Remaster, and why Rocket League and CoD: Warzone both also only support 120FPS on PS5!

Hopefully, Sony will find a workaround in the long run, otherwise, gamers wanting the best experience may start hopping over to Xbox.
