To unlock all the stunning benefits of the Razer Phone 2's 120 Hz UltraMotion™ screen, be sure your refresh rate is set to 120hz. To adjust your refresh rate, go to the Phone's "Settings", navigate down to "Display", select "Refresh Rate" and choose the "120Hz" option.

Please note, some older games may have issues playing on the 120hz settings. For games such as Jetpack and Sonic 2, you can select the games within Razer Game Booster and set the default rate to 60Hz for those specific games. Once that is selected within Game Booster those games will automatically default to 60Hz without affecting the refresh rate on other applications. Higher refresh rates may also have some minor effects on battery life.

Based upon tests performed internally at Razer, the titles listed below support UltraMotion but do not necessarily reach 120 FPS. Some titles are still under development, thus feature sets are subject to change.

The list is as of September 2018, however, new titles are being added all the time and other titles may be supported.
