How to enable 120 FPS in Wuthering Waves

Assuming you have the necessary hardware, consider tweaking Wuthering Waves' settings to enable the 120 FPS. Here are the steps to activate the feature:

Boot up the game on your device and log in to your account.
Hit Pause to access the menu and click on Settings.
Head to the Graphics tab and scroll down to find the Custom options.
The first option lets you set a Frame Rate. Click on it and choose 120 FPS.

Doing this should increase the frame rate capacity, which will provide a better gameplay experience as long as the other components in the system can support the performance. For those wondering, since the 120 FPS support is limited to specific PCs and laptops, mobile players have no official method to access the new feature.
