In a post on X, Rebel Wolves confirmed that The Blood of Dawnwalker will receive a 60 FPS performance mode through its launch-day patch on September 3. According to the studio, the mode was already in development, but it has now accelerated testing following criticism of the game’s initial console performance options.

“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. Performance Mode was already in the works, but it was still being tested. We simply weren’t ready to promise it yet. We heard your feedback. It was clear how much this mattered to many of you, so we focused on finishing the next round of tests. Those results gave us the confidence we needed to confirm Performance Mode for Day 1.”
