Known issues
If High Dynamic Range (HDR) is set to On or Automatic in the PS5 front-end system settings, 120Hz mode fails to trigger in Warzone. HDR must be turned off entirely to allow 120Hz output.
Taking advantage of the 120fps mode on PS5 requires players to disable HDR before launching the game.
