Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 arrived with major upgrades and pleasantly surprised those who played the prequel. Taking advantage of the prowess of current-gen consoles and the new engine, it delivered amazing results on the graphical front.

PC players can tinker with their graphics settings endlessly, but those on console don't have that much freedom. Xbox Series X|S, for example, allows for limited adjustments to the title's graphics.

Although Modern Warfare 2 is a casual first-person shooter, it can be competitive at times, especially during Ranked Play. In such circumstances, players must prioritize smooth and consistent framerates as well as clear visibility.

This guide will take a closer look at the best possible graphics settings for Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox Series X|S.

The game already runs quite well on Xbox Series X|S, but there is always scope for further improvement. You can choose to play with either 120 FPS or 60 FPS. The 60 FPS mode prioritizes resolution and image quality over framerates, while the 120 FPS mode gives you high framerates at the cost of compromised resolution and image quality.

Unless you are playing Campaign or Raid mode, it is recommended that you switch to the 120 FPS mode for the best possible experience. You can tweak the following settings in Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox Series X|S accordingly:
