Blood of the Dawnwalker Console Performance Locked at 40fps, No 60fps Option at Launch
Newly released console gameplay footage from developer Rebel Wolves and publisher Bandai Namco has confirmed that The Blood of the Dawnwalker will not offer a 60fps performance mode on PS5 or Xbox at launch. The game's console graphics modes will top out at 40fps across all platforms, leaving players without the higher frame rate option that many modern console titles have made a standard offering.
The news is likely to disappoint performance-focused players who have come to expect a 60fps mode as a baseline feature on current-generation hardware. While 40fps has become a more common middle-ground option for games targeting high graphical fidelity on consoles with 120Hz display support, the absence of any 60fps mode at launch is a notable omission. Rebel Wolves has not yet indicated whether a 60fps option could arrive in a post-launch update.
