A 40 fps mode for those 120 hz screens would be nice.

100

This needs to be a standard. It's perfect for anything that's not an arcadey FPS (though it may be fine for that too--haven't tried it, and 50fps on BF4 for XB1 was noticeably rough compared to a flat 60 so it could go either way)

It definitely works for Ratchet and Clank: A Rift Apart on the PS5. Feels very fluid despite being only 10FPS more than 30FPS which isn't the best.

It’s 10 fps more but because of the way the numbers work the frame time (how long each frame is displayed for) is exactly halfway between 30 and 60fps frame times.

1/30 = 33.3ms

1/40 = 25.0ms

1/60 = 16.7ms

So for 10fps extra you get even closer to the timing for 60fps.
