New console gameplay from developer Rebel Wolves and publisher Bandai Namco has confirmed that The Blood of Dawnwalker won’t offer a 60fps mode on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S when it launches next month.
Two graphics modes are planned on both consoles: a Quality Mode targeting 30fps at dynamic 4K, and a Balanced Mode targeting 40fps at dynamic 4K. PS5 Pro will run at the same frame rates and resolution, though with enhanced visual quality across both modes.
The lack of a 60fps option, even on the more powerful PS5 Pro, has drawn a mixed response from fans. Some are holding out hope for a performance-focused patch after launch, while others have said they’d rather trade resolution for frame rate, arguing a sub-4K 60fps mode would have served the game better than a 40fps cap at higher resolution.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is directed by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, who previously served as game director on The Witcher 3 and as head of production and secondary game director on Cyberpunk 2077. The game is set to launch next month.
