To get there, press the Xbox logo button on the controller and then select Home.

2. It should be noted that you can’t filter the listing of available titles from the Xbox Game Pass App. Instead, you need to use the Store App.

4. From there, you need to select Home.

5. After getting to the Home screen of the Store App, scroll down until you get to the Xbox Game Pass row.

6. The left-most option of the Xbox Game Pass row should be “All games A – Z.” Make sure you select it.

7. If done correctly, you should now be in the “All Console Games” menu, which shows all of the currently available games that you can download, install and play if you have an Xbox Game Pass subscription.

Here, you need to press the X button in order to open the Filter/Sort menu on the right side of the screen.

8. Next, you need to select Technical Features, which should be the last option.

9. From the Technical Features sub-menu, make sure that the “120 fps” box is checked.

10. If you would like, you can also add additional filter options as well as change the sorting order from the Filter/Sort menu.

11. Once you are done, you can exit the Filter/Sort menu by pressing the B button.

12. The “All Console Games” menu should now be filtered to only show Xbox Game Pass games that are capable of running at 120 frames per second.

In order to play the 120 fps titles, you need a television set or monitor that supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz. You may also need to change the Graphics Mode in the in-game settings menu for that title in order to unlock 120 fps.

Requirements

The 120 Hz mode was added through a recent patch for Atomic Heart. So, if you haven’t done so already, you should make sure you have the latest version of the game downloaded and installed on your console. Otherwise, you won’t be able to unlock this graphics mode.

If you are playing on Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, you should head over to Settings > General > TV & display options > Video modes and then make sure that the “Allow variable refresh rate” box is checked.

By enabling VRR, you should not notice any frame rate drops when playing this game at 120 Hz.

1. For the first step, make sure you have the latest patch update installed for Atomic Heart on your PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X.

Depending on the platform, the ability to change the text size has been added in either the 1.4.0.0 or 1.5.0.0 patch.

If you are using an Xbox One or Xbox Series gamepad, then you need to press LB or RB to switch tabs instead.

4. Once you get to the Gameplay tab, move the cursor down to Interface Scale.

By default, this setting is set to Small.

5. You can either use the directional pad or the left analog stick, if you are using a controller, to change Interface Scale from Small to Medium or Large.

When you are changing the subtitle and HUD size, you should see the changes apply in real time from the Gameplay tab of the Options menu.

6. Once you are done changing the Interface Scale setting, you need to back out of the Options menu and then load back into your game.

Hopefully, the change will make the text much easier to read while you are playing Atomic Heart.

How to fix ‘server could not be accessed at this time’ error for MLB The Show 23

When playing MLB The Show 23 on your PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S or Nintendo Switch console, you may encounter the following error message:

  • “The server could not be accessed at this time. Connect online to access live content, cross platform play, and more!”

To see how you can fix the connection issues with this baseball game, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, we recommend taking a look at the social media channels for the game, including the official Twitter account. There is a possibility that the game may be currently suffering from some downtime.

If part, or all, of the servers aren’t working normally, then you need to wait until the issues get fixed on the other end before trying to play MLB The Show 23 again.

2. If the servers appear to be fine, then there could be something wrong with your internet connection. If you think this is the case, then you can try using other devices online to see if these are experiencing issues as well.

If your internet appears to be down, then you can try power cycling your modem and routers by turning them off, waiting for a few minutes and then turning them back on again. If this procedure does not work, then we recommend contacting your internet service provider for additional help.

3. If both the MLB The Show 23 and your home network appear to be fine, then you can try checking the internet connection on your game console.

If possible, we suggest playing this baseball game online using a wired connection as it should be faster and more stable when compared to Wi-Fi.

Furthermore, you should also avoid downloading and streaming at the same time when you are playing online. By doing so, you should free up extra bandwidth that should help prevent disconnections.

4. If you haven’t done so already, you should make sure that you have the latest patch downloaded and installed for MLB The Show 23.

5. You should also make sure that you have the latest system software update installed for your PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S or Nintendo Switch.

These updates may help when it comes to fixing the “server could not be accessed at this time.”

How to fix the ‘we need to close this game or app’ error for MLB The Show 23 on Xbox

If you are playing MLB The Show 23 on the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, then you may encounter the following error message:

“We need to close this game or app. Your saved data has changed since you last played on this Xbox, so we need to close MLB The Show 23 Xbox Series X/S. When you launch it again, your data will be up to date.”

Afterwards, the baseball videogame will be forced to close. As a result, any unsaved progress will be lost. To see how you can fix this particular crashing problem, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

Based on our experience, the “we need to close this game or app” error for MLB The Show 23 occurs when we are resuming the game through Quick Resume.

While the game does not require an internet connection, most of its modes do require the game to be online. So, like other online titles, putting the 2023 version of MLB The Show into a suspended state could end up causing the game to crash when you try to resume your progress.

In order to avoid this error, we suggest that you avoid putting MLB The Show 23 in the Quick Resume queue. If you need to play another title or turn off your Xbox Series X/S, then we suggest that you quit the baseball videogame first.

To do so, you need to press the Xbox logo button on the Xbox controller in order to open the Guide menu. From there, move the cursor over to MLB The Show 23 and then press the Menu button on the gamepad. In the small pop-up window, select Quit to close the game.

The next time you try to open MLB The Show 23, it will go through the normal boot up sequence instead of resuming from where you exactly left off.

In addition to avoiding Quick Resume, you should make sure that you have the latest firmware for your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S downloaded. Of course, you should also make sure that you have the latest patch for the baseball game downloaded as well. These new updates may help fix the “we need to close this game or app” error.

How to fix MLB The Show 23 network error issues

When playing MLB The Show 23, you may end up getting the following error message:

  • “NETWORK ERROR. Your connection to The Show Online has been lost.”

To see how you can prevent these disconnection issues, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, we recommend checking to see if the MLB The Show 23 servers are working normally. If there is an issue, then it should usually be communicated through the official MLB The Show 23 Twitter account.

In these cases, you simply have to wait until the servers are functioning properly again if you want to prevent these network errors.

2. If the servers are working just fine but you are still getting disconnected, then you can try looking at how the internet is set up on your console.

If possible, we recommend using a wired internet connection for MLB The Show 23 as it is faster and more stable when compared to Wi-Fi, especially on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X consoles.

If you are limited only to Wi-Fi, then you can try moving your gaming system closer to the Wi-Fi access point. You should also make sure that there aren’t any physical objects and/or other wireless devices that may be weakening the signal.

3. If you are downloading or streaming at the same time you are playing the 2023 version of MLB The Show, then these actions may be causing the disconnections.

Therefore, you can try pausing or stopping the downloads/streams in order to free up more bandwidth.

4. You can also try power cycling your internet connection by doing the following:

  • Start by turning off your game console.
  • Next, you need to turn off and/or unplug the modem and routers on your home network.
  • Wait for several minutes.
  • Once you waited long enough, you need to turn on the modem and routers on your network again.
  • Once your home network has gone back online, turn on your console and then open MLB The Show 23 to see if you are able to play the game without any internet connection problems.

5. Suspending the game to go back to the home screen may also cause network errors as well. Therefore, we recommend that you simply pause the game if you need to step away.

If you are playing the baseball game on the Series S or Series X, then we suggest that you avoid using Quick Resume. Instead, you should quit the game from the Xbox guide menu every time before you turn off the console.

6. Of course, the development team at Sony San Diego Studio may eventually release a patch that fixes the network errors. Thus, you should make sure that you have the latest version of this baseball game downloaded on your PlayStation, Xbox or Switch system.

How to remove umpire mistakes in MLB The Show 23
