The Blood of Dawnwalker Won't Feature a 60FPS Mode on PS5, PS5 Pro, or Xbox Series X
Developer Rebel Wolves and publisher Bandai Namco have confirmed that upcoming RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker will target only 30fps and 40fps modes on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox Series X, with no 60FPS option available.
Developer Rebel Wolves, featuring former developers behind The Witcher 3, and publisher Bandai Namco have revealed the graphical mode options for upcoming role-playing game The Blood of Dawnwalker. According to recently shared console gameplay footage and trailers, the title will not feature a 60 frames-per-second option on any major console platform when it launches on September 3.
Players utilizing Microsoft's flagship Xbox Series X will be limited to a choice between 30fps and 40fps performance modes. Meanwhile, owners of Sony's base PlayStation 5 and the enhanced PlayStation 5 Pro will encounter a similar limitation. Although the PS5 Pro version is confirmed to offer enhanced visual quality across its settings, neither Sony console supports a 60fps framerate. Reviewers and players have noted the absence of a dedicated performance mode, particularly given the inclusion of settings like a balanced mode alongside quality options.
Currently, details regarding the performance targets for Microsoft's less powerful Xbox Series S console remain unreleased. The Blood of Dawnwalker is scheduled to launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and GOG.
