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.

Even more from a 40FPS 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’s 720p on PS5 then upscaled. It runs ok at 60FPS. But the Res is simply too low for me

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).

Or they stop pushing for high graphical fidelity and ultra realism

And that’s why some go with Nintendo

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.
