Blood of Dawnwalker Confirms No 60fps Mode on Consoles at Launch

Developer Rebel Wolves and publisher Bandai Namco have revealed console performance details for the upcoming action RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker, confirming the game will not feature a 60 frames-per-second mode on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X at launch. The new footage, released ahead of the game's September 3, 2026, launch, shows the title running on PlayStation 5 Pro, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X, but notably omits the Xbox Series S.

According to the shared information, all three shown consoles will offer two graphics modes. Quality Mode targets a dynamic 4K resolution at 30fps, while Balanced Mode targets the same resolution at 40fps. The PlayStation 5 Pro version will offer enhanced visual quality across both modes compared to the base consoles. The only platform confirmed to support a 60fps experience is PC.

The absence of a higher frame rate option on consoles has prompted discussion among players. Some expressed disappointment, with comments suggesting a preference for a 1080p resolution at 60fps over a 4K target at 40fps. Others noted that the performance difference between 40fps and 60fps may not be significant and that the footage appeared stable.
