Fresh off the back of confirming the graphics modes for The Blood of Dawnwalker, developer Rebel Wolves has now revealed that the game will be receiving a Performance Mode targeting 60 FPS for PS5 & PS5 Pro as part of a launch patch.
Previously, it was revealed that the upcoming fantasy-RPG would not support any form of 60 FPS mode for PlayStation or Xbox consoles, with the highest frame rate setting targeting 40 FPS. Now, the studio has followed up confirming that there will be a 60 FPS option on Day 1 thanks to the patch.
“The Blood of #Dawnwalker will receive a Performance Mode targeting 60 FPS on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X on Day 1 through the launch patch,” publisher Bandai Namco wrote on its official X account. “On Friday, we answered your questions about console performance with what we knew we could confidently deliver at launch. Performance Mode was already in the works, but it was still being tested. We simply weren’t ready to promise it yet.”
The Blood of Dawnwalker is the debut project from Rebel Wolves, a development studio that features a number of staff with impressive pedigree, having previously worked at The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt developer CD Projekt RED. The game launches on September 3, 2026 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
