It's a relatively straightforward process, and we're outlining the steps here. First, though, you'll need a TV that can support 120Hz with an HDMI 2.1 port, and also a compatible HDMI cable. Sony acknowledges that "4K 120Hz TVs have not yet fully penetrated the market," but if you're fortunate enough to have one (and a PS5!), you can enjoy a smoother experience playing some next-gen games.
As outlined on Sony's website, here's what you need to do to play games at 120Hz:
Visit the "Settings" tab on your PS5
Navigate to PS Screen and Video
From there, you'll find the option to "Enable 120Hz Output," and that's basically it.

Alternatively, you may need to navigate to the Save Data and Game/App Settings page and click Game Presets and then select Performance mode to access the higher frame rates. Some games that support 120Hz have their own in-game Settings pages that let you toggle it on or off, while others rely on this system-level preset.

Again, all of this is only possible if your TV or monitor is capable of supporting 120Hz, so you'll want to check that first before you get started.
