PC is, at least for now, the only platform expected to support 60fps and higher. On Sony\u2019s PlayStation 5 Pro, the bump is to visual quality within those same two modes, not to frame rate.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rebel Wolves has announced support for Xbox Series X and Series S, but it still hasn\u2019t shared full performance details for <strong>Xbox Series S<\/strong>.

Fans are already pushing back online. Some say they\u2019d gladly give up dynamic 4K to get 60fps. Others are rethinking console purchases or holding off on pre-orders. There\u2019s still no official word on a post-launch 60fps patch, either.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rebel Wolves also hasn\u2019t explained why <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-highly-anticipated-hellblade-2-will-run-at-30-fps-and-its-director-justifies-it-its-more-cinematic\" rel=\"noopener\">the cap<\/a><\/strong> is there, though <a href=\"https:\/\/unreal-engine.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Unreal Engine 5<\/a> demands or CPU limits seem like the most likely reasons.
