It's also important to note that the 60Hz limitation doesn't mean that the game will necessarily be a drastically worse experience, but the game's inability to meet the 120Hz standard set by Call of Duty has fans implying that other issues are present as well as those seen in the Beta. The Beta weekends that DICE ran for the game sullied a lot of expectations for the upcoming shooter as it was full of bugs and other technical issues making it seem like the game is in a troubled place.

However, this isn't the only warning sign that the game might have performance issues when it launches. This news on its own might be disappointing but doesn't necessarily spell disaster for Battlefield 2042. As many have discussed online, however, comparisons between the two franchises aren't exactly fair on account of Battlefield's destructible environments weighing heavily on the console's processing power, a feature that Call of Duty doesn't have. While outputting at 60Hz isn't anything for fans to turn their noses up at, many fans were hoping that Battlefield would be able to meet the standard set by Call of Duty: Vanguardwhich will be supporting 120Hz for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X. RELATED: Battlefield 2042 Reveals Gameplay for Breakaway, Discarded, and Renewal Maps The reason that DICE cites for not including the feature is that Battlefield 2042will be 'hammering the CPUs with 128 players quite severely' and that the jump in hardware required to run the game at 120 FPS as opposed to 60 is significant. Revealed in a forum Q&A on ResetEra, DICE confirmed that the game won't support 120Hz for current-generation consoles when it launches, but that it's something that the studio is interested in 'potentially' exploring post-launch. This comes as a disappointment for those looking forward to playing the game with a high frame rate for a maximum level of smoothness.

However, it was revealed that Battlefield 2042 won't be supporting 120Hz on consoles. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X made a big deal in their marketing about how the consoles will both be able to output at 120Hz while maintaining high resolutions.
