120Hz Crucible Mode
Destiny 2 players can enable “120Hz
Crucible Mode”. When enabled, all Crucible game modes will target 120
frames per second. With this mode enabled, some graphical settings, like
resolution, are lowered in Crucible game modes only. All other parts of
the game (e.g. Tower, Strikes, Free Roam, etc.) target 4k resolution at 60
frames per second.

HDMI 2.0 Displays that support 120Hz on Xbox Series X
Some HDMI 2.0 displays support 120Hz but only at resolutions
lower than 4k (1440p or 1080p). If your HDMI 2.0 display is compatible

ensure you can play Crucible at 120Hz and also play other parts of the game at
the highest possible resolution.
- Press the Xbox button to open the guide, and then go to
Settings > General > TV & display options. Under the Advanced
column, choose Video modes and check the options to Allow 4K
and Allow HDR10
- Enabling these settings should allow the game to switch
seamlessly between 120Hz and lower resolution in Crucible Modes to 60Hz
and 4k resolution in all other modes of Destiny 2.
If your Display is Flickering with 120Hz mode enabled
- Update your TVs firmware to the latest version
