Sonic Frontiers on Series S updated with 60fps mode

Sonic Frontiers launched earlier this month to great commercial success. With the title releasing across 9 different SKUs, Frontiers varies quite a bit from console to console – both graphically and performance wise. While the PS5 and Xbox Series X offer both 30fps and 60fps options, the Series S did not…until now.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the official Sonic the Hedgehog account revealed that “A new patch for Sonic Frontiers has been released!” Though not the biggest update in the world, this latest patch has “Fixed an issue where the Kronos Island Titan boss would disappear after reattempting the fight” as well as having “Fixed an issue where one of the Chaos Island icons was showing as locked even after completion.”

Bug fixes aside, by far the most exciting improvement with this patch comes in the form of a 60fps mode for Xbox Series S consoles – though interestingly, the way it is worded seems to suggest that a performance mode was always planned for the Series S, and that it not having one at launch was simply a bug.

Regardless of whether it was a bug or not, it is nice to see Series S players now able to experience Sonic Frontiers in a nice and smooth 60fps. Hopefully it is able to maintain a stable framerate.
