Cannot play on 120 fps when my refresh rate has been set to 120hz

[sharp ledge]

Hi I am trying to run 120fps on fn on my xbox series s w/ my new monitor. Xbox allowed me to change my refresh rate to 120hz but on fn I cannot change the fps. How can I fix it?

So following this doesn’t help? https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/fortnite-c5719335176219/technical-support-c5719372265755/how-do-i-enable-120-fps-in-fortnite-on-my-playstation-5-or-xbox-series-x-s-a5720385314587

I looked at this and followed the steps but nothing happened

Do I have to have 4k on?

Tried going in the game, might just be locked to 60 in lobby even after change

[north fable]

Don’t think so, just is there for the guide

[sharp ledge]

I did but it was stuck at 60fps

if you are wondering my monitor is a Tuf Gaming VG247QR1A

If the option isn’t actually working, a cold reboot of the console might help

[sharp ledge]

Ok I'll try that. Is it the same as restarting the console or is it something different?

[north fable]

Restarting it fully

Alright thanks for the help

Hi I just looked up on the internet and my monitor is currently running 119.84 hz and not 120hz so I will not be able to run 120fps. Apparently this is a big issue for xbox consoles and there is not much to get around it.

Hi I tried everything you said but nothing is working

It sounds like you found your answer though

[sharp ledge]

so there is nothing can I do?

[peak barn]

I have no idea. It sounded like you found the information that said it’s not possible with your monitor.

[rustic bane]

or its capable of 120 over DP not HDMI

[sharp ledge]

I just found out that the one s cannot run 120 fps💀

[peak barn]

I mean that’s not true in a general sense, plenty of games support 120fps on Series S

I don’t know about Fortnite personally though

[sharp ledge]

no I was talking about the one s

[peak barn]

Oh then that’s definitely true

[sharp ledge]

ig ill get the series s to run 120fps

[north fable]

You said series s originally so that’s why I gave you steps (that ofc didn’t help)
