Relevant gaming details below taken from the review here [rtings.com].

Xbox Series X, 1080p @ 120Hz Yes
Xbox Series X, Variable Refresh Rate No
Update 01/28/2022: We investigated a reported issue with micro-stutter when gaming on the PS5. We tried to reproduce the issue with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Astro's Playroom, but we weren't able to.
The Sony X91CJ supports most common signals from the PS5 and Xbox Series X, but it's not without issues. First, if you want to play games in Dolby Vision, you're limited to 4k @ 60Hz. You either have to set the HDMI Signal Format to 'Enhanced Format' for 4k @ 120Hz signals, or to 'Enhanced Format (Dolby Vision)', which limits it to 4k @ 60Hz signals, as you can see in the Xbox menu. Although the Xbox says that the TV supports VRR when you set the HDMI Signal Format to 'Enhanced Format (VRR)', we're still considering it 'No' because VRR doesn't work.
We confirmed that ALLM works because the TV switched into Game Mode when we launched Destiny 2 on the Xbox Series X. However, like the Sony X900H, we experienced resolution issues with Destiny 2 where it would display 3840x1080 and the rectangle around the 'Open Director' in the menu flashes between white and gray. You can see an example of this from the X900H here.
Input Lag:
1080p @ 60Hz 16.0 ms
1080p @ 60Hz Outside Game Mode 91.7 ms
1440p @ 60Hz 15.8 ms
4k @ 60Hz 15.6 ms
4k @ 60Hz + 10-Bit HDR 15.5 ms
4k @ 60Hz @ 4:4:4 15.6 ms
4k @ 60Hz Outside Game Mode 91.5 ms
4k @ 60Hz With Interpolation 87.4 ms
8k @ 60Hz N/A
1080p @ 120Hz 7.0 ms
1440p @ 120Hz 7.1 ms
4k @ 120Hz 7.0 ms
1080p with Variable Refresh Rate N/A
1440p with VRR N/A
4k with VRR N/A
8k with VRR N/A
The Sony KD85X91CJ has objectively low input lag, but it's higher than some other TVs, like the Samsung QN90A QLED. Still, it's fine for most gamers. Unless specified, we measure it all in the 'Game' Picture Mode, but the 4k @ 60Hz with chroma 4:4:4 input lag was measured in 'Graphics' mode instead.
Although VRR isn't working properly, we also measured the input lag with the VRR setting enabled. We measured 15.8 ms for 1080p @ 120Hz with VRR and 9.4 ms in 4k @ 120Hz, but since we don't consider the VRR to be functional, we aren't including these numbers in the results.
Variable Refresh Rate:
Native Refresh Rate 120 Hz
Variable Refresh Rate No
HDMI Forum VRR No
FreeSync No
G-SYNC Compatible No
4k VRR Maximum N/A
4k VRR Minimum No VRR support
1080p VRR Maximum N/A
1080p VRR Minimum No VRR support
1440p VRR Maximum N/A
1440p VRR Minimum No VRR support
VRR Supported Connectors No VRR support
At the time of testing, the variable refresh rate support on the Sony X91J doesn't work. There's a VRR setting, but unlike the Sony X900H, it doesn't reduce screen tearing. *Sony is implementing VRR support through firmware updates, and they've said it'll take two updates by the end of 2021 for VRR to be fully functional, so we'll retest the TV once the second update comes out. We tried the pendulum test pattern with our RTX 3070, RX580, RX6600, and RX6800 graphics cards, and there was always screen tearing. We also checked in Destiny 2 with our RX6600 card, and there's still screen tearing.
*We're obviously past 2021 but I checked Sony's website and the X91J is still planning firmware updates for VRR.

For the record, I have the 900h. It looks and plays fantastic. The brights are exceptional and I've had no issue with input lag which is a big one for me. If you're a ranked FPS player your opinion might be different. The only disadvantage would be the reportedly non-functioning VRR for X91J.

As for thinking its all about zones..yes and no
The X940E he cited has significant motion issues and rtings.com actually thought the edge lit X930E was a better set
from their review
"The Sony X930E is a bit better than the Sony X940E. The X940E has a more advanced full array local dimming feature and better black uniformity, so it performs better in a dark room. The X940E has a better black frame insertion feature to help clear up motion, but the X930E has a much better response time, so motion is smoother overall and has much less blur trail. The X930E is brighter with SDR and HDR content."

This should drop to an in store price of 1599 in the coming months and continue to drop until they're completely sold out. Just search up x90ch on slickdeals for proof.
At this point I'd rather wait til the x90k 2022 model premieres and snag it during spring 2023.
They cheated with this model.

Search Slickdeals for x90ch to get an idea of when to start checking stores.
I'm speculating that once the new models hit the floor they'll start clearing these out aggressively.
If anyone else is in the same boat as me, you can find the price adjust form on Costco.com, by going to the bellow link, make sure you are logged in (maybe, not sure it's important), and on the left is a bunch of icons and one says price adjustment.

Edit: Someone mentioned they tried the same thing last year and the Costco forms didn't ever go though and they had to just call customer service. Going to do that today because I've gotten no feedback 24 hours later.

The VRR in my 85" 2021 set is still being "rolled out" and is broken, over a year after purchase.
The 2015 set got one update about 3 years ago, but it was a small set of fixes. Still on Android tv 9.
None of them have been updated to android tv 11. The 2021 set has a chance, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Between that and the TCL google tv fiasco a few months ago where they had to suspend sales for a while due to bugs in the software made me buy some chromecasts with google tv. Those work fine, get regular updates, and I can pick a tv based on the specs and available, working features without considering the smart features at all.
