New console gameplay from developer Rebel Wolves and publisher Bandai Namco has confirmed The Blood of Dawnwalker won't offer a 60fps mode on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S when it launches next month.

The short version

  • PS5 Pro will hit the same frame rates and resolution, but with what's being described as enhanced visual quality across both modes.
  • The absence of a 60fps option, even on higher-end hardware, has left some fans hoping for a post-launch performance patch, with others saying they'd have preferred a lower-resolution 60fps mode over a 4K cap at 40fps.
  • Cmon guys," commented one on YouTube.

What happened

Another said: "It’s 2026, 60 fps is the bare minimum at this point". Some fans believe a 60fps patch has been confirmed, but we're struggling to find confirmation – we'll update if/when we hear more.

Why it matters

The Blood of Dawnwalker is directed by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, previously game director on The Witcher 3 and head of production and secondary game director on Cyberpunk 2077 .
