Is 120hz the same as 120fps?

-

I saw in the Xbox display settings that there is a refresh rate box with either 60hz or 120hz. Is this the same as frame rate when it is applied to games?

Yes, if you set the refresh rate to 120hz, you will be allowing a max frame rate in game of 120fps.

For more on this, check out the ,4k 120fps guide in the Xbox series X guide.
