I assume it's heavy on the graphics then.

Regardless, I might get it on Xbox as it looks more and more interesting the more I see from it.
Will play in the 30 FPS mode if I do.
My TV doesn't support 120hz so the 40 FPS mode would do nothing for me.

Takes me back to playing Witcher 3 day one on a ps4 lol.

Another nail in the GTAVI Pro 60fps coffin then 😫

They can always make upscaling from 720-1080p so everyone is happy.. just joking. If they cannot make it run in 60 fps then I am expecting true next gen graphics. If not, then their optimization skills need to really improve.

Won't be playing this

This is a huge bummer. I would rather have 1080p/solid 60 fps than dynamic 4k/"targeting" 40fps

A warmup for GTA 6. The Digital Foundry guys were on to something when they said that eventually we'd see more 30fps games as devs crammed in more visual features. I'd personally rather have the horsepower put towards a consistent 60fps rather than adding more bells and whistles (especially since 30fps looks like ass on an OLED).

This indicates the game is CPU limited for the most part, so the PRO can't so much better here in this department and even on PC already see that the high end cards will be sleeping waiting for the CPU for delivers the frames..

I'm always for 60fps and performance modes over graphical options. But I'm currently playing RDR2 at 30fps and the game is brilliant and not too long ago I finished Bloodborne.

As long as the game is solid and you can get immersed in it, you'll soon forget what frames you're playing at.

40 fps with VRR might be acceptable.

40fps is pretty reasonable. Really feels so much better than 30fps.

This is disappointing and, in turn, a hard pass

A timer for how many days you have to save your family and now this too 👀

Crap on a stick! I pre-ordered this. Might see can I get a refund. Can stand anything under 60. Hate choppy movement

I've been spoiled by the vast majority of big games on PS5 offering 60fps modes and now 30fps feels awful but you can get used to it if you don't play other 60fps games at the same time.

On consoles we had around 15 years of 30fps games and many of them we're not stable. I would prefer not to go back to that.

I will always take FPS over resolution now

It will be a balanced mode because eventually they will add 60fps modes when they are comfortable with doing that. I assume they won't want all the initial footage to look like a potato is running it. Think back to Crimson Desert and some of the awful screenshots of the performance modes. Why add it if it looks crap? Why go through the saga of "fix this broken mess" when they could just fix it behind the scenes and release it later? 😅

@Damage99 It really isnt though, once you've played at 60 or higher constantly, 40 is no substitute

Shoddy really

no 60fps is unacceptable in 2026, so that means its not well optimized so its a hard pass

Hard pass. Maybe if they patch it later on

@Can-You-Believe-Sith You can explore the open world and not advance time. It's only when you complete missions and upgrade certain stats.

They've already said the story continues no matter what happens to your family. So its up to you if you want to go the route of saving them or not.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. CPU. The fact that they put out that pro but didn't upgrade the cpu is just laughable.

Who would play another "vampire" game anyway lol.

I’ve tried so many games at 30fps on PS5 and Pro and series x.

Never will I go back to 30fps it’s a blur mess and not smooth and terrible.

I tried it on FH6 series x and 30fps was terrible, all those that say it is ok are just totally blind or playing on extremely old TVs or something weird.

No 60fps no buy.

@Deadlyblack
Don't remind me. 😂
That game was so broken when it released.

Their tweet said they were showcasing the graphics "Quality" modes, so I'm holding out hope that means there will be a "performance" mode as well.

@Palolo
I would.
Vampires are cool.

Doesn't matter to me, just have it be a stable 30fps.

@Palolo What are you on about?

We’re back to 2016

@BLKxHER0
Except for the fact that both companies confirmed that the game only has the two mentioned modes on console...

I mean 40fps is at least something, but it would have to be GOTY material with truly next gen graphics for me to consider a purchase.

For now it looks like another UE5 slop.

All good. I don't mind an open-world adventure with limited action not being 60fps. Definitely interested in this one!

Well that just lazy … look at crimson desert…
Blood of the dawnwalkers don’t even look better graphicwise so … laziness

disappointed

I don't think it looks that graphically impressive when compared to its peers?

When I finally get to it on PS6 I'm sure it will.

Solid 30fps is fine IMO, so 40 is extra nice. If I were a framerate snob, I’d be on PC

Banishers Ghosts of New Eden looks way better graphically and it runs 60fps locked on the PS5 Pro... Meanwhile this game.... Lmao gurl.

Ooof between this and the weird directional combat scheme they have, this game is a big miss for me. Well at least my wallet can breathe easier in September.

Unchecked from my wishlist

@KundaliniRising333 really? I don't expect these kind of smug pc master race comments from you. Disappointing.

@get2sammyb The power that people claim they don’t need also fixes all of the issues they can’t tolerate. Hilariously Sisyphusean

@HairyBizRat It really is though. It's fine. Once youve played 40fps on Crimson Desert you'll see it's magical.

I prefer a steady 60fps, which is a key part of the experience I get from a game. So if a developer can’t deliver a top-quality experience, I usually don’t feel the need to pay the full price for such a product on release day. It’s a shame for them, but I’ve got plenty of other games to play.
Of course, I agree that 40fps feels much better than 30fps, especially if the game is in third-person it is ok for me.
I’ll buy it later when it’s on offer.

I would prefer 60, but solid 30 is fine if the game is immersive and fun.

And as said above, they may continue optimizing it.

I'm not obsessed with fps, so I'll probably still buy it 🤷🏻‍♂️

This would be forgiveable on a switch but not the ps5. Could well be a dealbreaker for me.

@Fishysensei Lol true, and yet I loved every second of it while my PS4 sounded like it wanted to fly out of the window.

@AI-Generation Or they just don’t care? Framerate isn’t the be-all end-all of gaming

@Damage99 gross , I’ve played 120fps on Crimson Desert on my pc and that games horrible

Well, that’s a no buy at launch then, simple. I’ll wait for a sale later. Makes things easier for September I guess. 40fps, if locked, isn’t that bad once your eyes get used to it but not at full price

Anyone complaining about this is not a real gamer. Who cares what it runs at as long as it’s consistent and the game is fun with solid game design. Which, from what I’ve seen, this one looks interesting with the time system and day/night quest design.

@HairyBizRat Classic internet opinion stated as fact. LOL. I choose to play on PS5 Pro because of the rest feature. I also have a PC with a 4070ti. Get over yourself.

Not too surprising when you realise the PC version is the first PC game to recommend an RTX 5090 if you want 4k 60fps

Sounds like ***** optimization more than anything.

Well, my 2 most expected games of 2026 are now a "discount bin" purchase for me. My Fall keeps getting more free with each of these announcements.
