    Is it still 30 fps on Series X? I don’t think that’s acceptable for a first-person game in 2023.

      You say that, but Immortals of Aveum probably would have benefited immensely from a 30 FPS option.

          I didn’t follow this game. Can you explain why a lower frame rate is desirable here? Is it just too demanding to run at 60+?

            It is the first shipping UE5 game that uses both Nanite and Lumen, and with insanely detailed environments to boot. It holds a pretty stable 60 FPS on the PS5, but it runs at 720p internally and upscales to 4k using FSR2, resulting in some very questionable image quality.

            I think these features are insanely cool and their commitment to supporting 60 FPS is commendable, but this really is a case where I would actually prefer 30 or 40 FPS with a higher internal resolution.

      It’s not going to get better unless companies start making consoles with 1-2 year life cycles (which won’t sell, because at that point, you may as well be swapping parts out of your PC of Theseus).

      Why? If the game has been targetted at 30 though development and everything built around that it should be fine.

        You really believe that? Have you played New Vegas at 30 and 60 fps? Go ahead and try it out. I’ll wait.
