The Blood of Dawnwalker will launch with a 60FPS mode after all

A few days on from revealing the updated PC system requirements for The Blood of Dawnwalker, the team at Rebel Wolves has now also announced a major change for the launch-day version of the game on consoles. At first, the game was going to launch without a true ‘Performance' mode option on PS5 and Xbox Series X. However, after seeing feedback, the team made the decision to move up its testing plans for 60FPS. 

Originally, The Blood of Dawnwalker was going to launch with two quality modes on console, one that targets 30FPS with the best possible visual settings, and another that targets 40FPS instead, with slightly lower visual settings, such as more aggressive dynamic resolution. However, fans quickly made it known that they wanted a 60FPS option, so Rebel Wolves has swiftly changed its plans.

The studio confirmed that it was already planning a 60FPS performance mode for the game but were not confident that they would be able to fully test it and implement it in time for launch in early September. Due to fan feedback, they decided to move the testing forward, and now, 60FPS will be an option on PS5 / Xbox Series X consoles, after installing the game's day-one patch.
