None will hit 60fps, however.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">An action role-playing game set in 14th century Europe in which you play as Coen, a half-human, half-vampire attempting to save his family, The Blood of Dawnwalker is one of 2026\u2019s most exciting-looking games and is set to launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X\/S on September 3.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">But anyone choosing to play on console won\u2019t get quite as smooth a gameplay experience as those on PC, it would seem \u2014 even on the beefier PS5 Pro and Series X machines. A new trailer reveals the different performance modes available on each Sony and Microsoft machine. They are:<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>PS5 Pro<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Quality: Dynamic 4K, Targeting 30fps<\/li>\n<li>Balanced: Dynamic 4K, Targeting 40fps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>PlayStation 5 Pro offers enhanced visual quality across both modes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Base PS5 <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Quality: Dynamic 4K, Targeting 30fps<\/li>\n<li>Balanced: Dynamic 4K, Targeting 40fps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Xbox Series X<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Quality: Dynamic 4K, Targeting 30fps<\/li>\n<li>Balanced: Dynamic 4K, Targeting 40fps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Xbox Series X<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Quality: Dynamic 4K, Targeting 30fps<\/li>\n<li>Balanced: Dynamic 4K, Targeting 40fps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">No details are given regarding The Blood of Dawnwalker\u2019s performance on the comparatively underpowered Xbox Series S, however.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">With a maximum of 40 fps being targeted on both PlayStation and Xbox, it&#8217;s fair to say some fans are disappointed, with some already saying they\u2019re now getting it on PC because of the news.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Im disappointed.
