‘We heard your feedback’: Blood of Dawnwalker is getting a 60fps mode, after backlash
Developer Rebel Wolves previously said all consoles would lack such a performance mode
The Blood of Dawnwalker will get a performance mode that will “target” 60 FPS on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X, developer Rebel Wolves has announced.
Over the weekend, the studio released information on the game’s various graphical settings. One major omission, however, was the lack of a 60 FPS mode on console, which caused concern among fans.
Now, following the feedback, the developer has announced that it will release a Performance Mode as part of a day 1 patch, which will target 60 FPS.
“On Friday, we answered your questions about console performance with what we knew we could confidently deliver at launch,” wrote @DawnwalkerGame account on X. “Performance Mode was already in the works, but it was still being tested. We simply weren’t ready to promise it yet.
“We heard your feedback. It was clear how much this mattered to many of you, so we focused on finishing the next round of tests. Those results gave us the confidence we needed to confirm Performance Mode for Day 1.”
The Blood of Dawnwalker will now offer the following modes for each console:
PlayStation 5 Pro:
- Performance, targeting 60 FPS
- Balanced, targeting 40 FPS
- Quality, targeting 30 FPS
PlayStation 5 Pro also provides overall visual enhancements.
PlayStation 5:
- Performance, targeting 60 FPS
- Balanced, targeting 40 FPS
- Quality, targeting 30 FPS
Xbox Series X:
- Performance, targeting 60 FPS
- Balanced, targeting 40 FPS
- Quality, targeting 30 FPS
Xbox Series S:
- Targeting 30 FPS
The Blood of Dawnwalker will release for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on September 3. The game is directed by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, who was The Witcher 3’s game director and head of production/secondary game director for Cyberpunk 2077.
In a recent hands-on preview, VGC’s Jordan Middler said Dawnwalker “instantly became one of my most anticipated games after four hours of play”.
“The Blood of Dawnwalker doesn’t feel like the first game from a new studio. There’s a level of experience in the bones of this game that is evident from the opening moments.
“While its developer’s pedigree is unimpeachable, ‘the new thing from the guys who made the amazing thing’ is rarely as impressive as this.”
