Following last week’s multiplayer reveal, performance specifics for Battlefield 6 have surfaced – confirming a 120fps mode exclusively for PlayStation 5 Pro while other consoles face limitations. According to Battlefield Labs testers, the long-awaited shooter will offer tiered performance across platforms, prioritizing smooth gameplay but with notable hardware disparities.
Console Performance Breakdown
- PS5 Pro:
Up to 120fps (Performance Mode) - PS5 / Xbox Series X:
- Quality Mode: 60fps
- Performance Mode: 90fps
- Xbox Series S:
No Performance Mode – capped at 60fps (Quality Mode only)
These figures were tested in 64-player Conquest matches, the game’s most demanding mode. Smaller modes (Breakthrough, Team Deathmatch) reportedly run smoother across all platforms.
Why Frame Rates Matter
DICE’s focus on high fps aligns with Battlefield’s fast-paced combat:
- Competitive Edge: 120fps on PS5 Pro offers milliseconds of advantage in firefights
- Accessibility: Elimination of 30fps “jail” ensures fluid gameplay for all
- Technical Trade-offs: “Quality Mode” sacrifices fps for enhanced visuals like ray tracing
However, testers caution that “up to” denotes peak performance – dips may occur during explosive set pieces or dense destruction events.
The Series S Compromise
Microsoft’s budget console faces clear limitations:
- 60fps cap (no Performance Mode toggle)
- Likely reduced resolution/textures
- Reflects growing divide between “next-gen” hardware tiers

Performance in these tests may influence final optimizations before the October 10 launch.
