The highly anticipated game, The Blood of Dawnwalker, will launch with a 60 FPS Performance Mode. Among the most expected titles of 2026, this game is considered one of the year’s most promising. Rebel Wolves listened to fan feedback and confirmed that a 60 FPS mode will be available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox consoles on day one, when the game releases on September 3, 2026.
Rebel Wolves announced via a post on their official X account, “The Blood of Dawnwalker will feature a Performance Mode targeting 60 FPS on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X on launch day through the update.”
In the accompanying image, the developers clarified, “Performance Mode was already in development, but it was still being tested.” They added that they delayed the announcement to avoid making incomplete promises.
In a follow-up thread linked to the original post, the devs explained that PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X will offer three different graphics modes: Performance mode aiming for 60 FPS, Balanced mode targeting 40 FPS, and Quality mode targeting 30 FPS. The PS5 Pro will also receive visual upgrades. Meanwhile, Xbox Series S is set to run only at 30 FPS.
The controversy arose when gameplay footage was shown on a PS5 Pro, revealing only the quality and balanced options without a 60 FPS mode. Fans pushed back strongly since the game was first announced in January 2025.
Many players pointed out that other games like Marvel’s Wolverine support 60 FPS on the standard PS5, arguing that a 60 FPS mode should be the minimum for The Blood of Dawnwalker. The devs had previously shared that the game could run at 60 FPS on ultra settings on PC, leading fans to question why console versions lag behind in performance.
Following the recent announcement of the performance mode, fans expressed their appreciation for the developers listening to their feedback and acting quickly with transparent communication. The Blood of Dawnwalker will launch on September 3, 2026, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
