2. In the “Settings” menu, select the “Saved Data and Game/App Settings” option.
3. In the “Saved Data and Game/App Settings” menu, select “Game Presets” from the tab of the left side.

How to enable 1080p/120Hz support for MSI Monitors on Xbox Series X and S
If you have a compatible MSI monitor and want to enable 120 frames per second on your Xbox Series X/Xbox Series S, you can take the following steps:
1. From the main system menu, select “Settings,” which uses the gear symbol.
2. In the “Settings” menu, select “General” on the left tab and then “TV & display options.”
3. On the “Display” column, select “Resolution” to bring up a drop-down menu. From there, select “1080p.”
4. Afterwards, select “Refresh rate” from the “Display” column to open a drop-down menu. From there, select “120 Hz.”

How to setup 1080p/120Hz support for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on MSI Monitor
Your compatible MSI Monitor will automatically detect the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S when the console is connected to the display. It will then use console mode without any manual input on your end.
Keep in mind that the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S do not support the 21:9 display ratio. So, you will end up with black borders on the left and right side of the screen for ultra-wide MSI monitors.
