Overview
- Official console footage released by Rebel Wolves and Bandai Namco this week confirms two graphics modes on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X: Quality (dynamic 4K targeting 30 FPS) and Balanced (dynamic 4K targeting 40 FPS).
- PlayStation 5 Pro will deliver enhanced visual quality in both modes but will not raise the frame rate above 40 FPS in the disclosed footage.
- Reporting and the developer video indicate the Xbox Series S was not shown and that Xbox Series X matches the same 30/40 FPS mode split shown for PlayStation hardware.
- Multiple outlets report that only the PC version is likely to reach 60 FPS, which has prompted public disappointment and widespread calls from players for a post‑launch performance patch or a lower‑resolution 60 FPS option.
- The Blood of Dawnwalker, directed by former Witcher 3 lead Konrad Tomaszkiewicz and built on demanding Unreal Engine 5 tech by the smaller Rebel Wolves studio, remains on track for release on September 3, 2026 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
