Do consoles support anything above 60 FPS?

My PS5 can do 4k/120 hz with VRR support, not sure about the others.

  • I'm bit puzzled, isn't VRR more for low powered hardware to consume less battery (handhelds like steam deck)? How does it fit hardware that is constantly connected to power?

    (I assume VRR = Variable Refresh Rate)

    • VRR is necessary to avoid tearing or FPS caps (V-sync) when your hardware cannot stably output FPS count matching the screen refresh rate.

  • Are there games running at 4k 120hz?

    • Call of Duty and Battlefield both run at 4K@120 with dynamic resolution scaling, PSSR or FSR.

      Most single player games (Spider-Man, God of War, Assassin's Creed etc) will allow a balanced graphics/performance which does 40 in a 120hz refresh.

    • Touryst renders the game at 4K120 or 8k60. In the latter case, the image is subsampled to 4K output.
