Arkane Studios has admitted that at launch, the vampire shooter Redfall will not run at 60 frames per second on Xbox Series X|S consoles.
Microsoft's consoles will only feature a Quality mode, in which the game runs at 4K and 30 frames per second on Xbox Series X, and at 1440p and the same 30 frames per second on Series S.
The developers promise to add a Performance mode later via updates.
Commenters under the post are wondering why Arkane is late with April Fools' jokes and are suggesting that the game's release be delayed.
“Delay the release then until you implement 60 fps.”
“I’ll wait for the performance mode then.”
“LOL WHAT?”
“Great April Fools' joke, guys. A bit late, but it still made me smile. Guys?”.
“The game doesn't even look good. Are you guys for real?”.
The game will be released on May 2 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass.
