AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Rebel Wolves confirmed that The Blood of Dawnwalker will feature a day one 60fps performance mode on PS5 and Xbox Series X after community pushback over earlier framerate caps.
Developer Rebel Wolves is making a welcome adjustment to The Blood of Dawnwalker just ahead of its September release. Following player backlash over an initial trailer that only showcased 30fps and 40fps modes on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the studio confirmed that a dedicated 60fps performance mode will be ready for day one. The team admitted that while the mode was already undergoing testing, they initially hesitated to promise it before finishing their technical evaluations.
According to the studio's recent update on social media, the upcoming performance mode will target a smooth 60fps across the standard PS5, the PS5 Pro, and the Xbox Series X. The beefed up PS5 Pro will deliver additional visual enhancements, while the Xbox Series S will remain capped at 30fps. Eurogamer's recent hands-on preview highlights the vampire action role-playing game's intriguing thirty day in-game time limit, which serves as a major narrative and gameplay driver.
This turnaround highlights how quickly developers can pivot when player communities voice their technical expectations clearly. In an era where smooth framerates are considered a baseline requirement for high-end action games, listening to feedback before launch helps build essential goodwill. Players across platforms will get to test these performance targets themselves when the game drops on September 3.
