Performance Mode will target 60 FPS at launch
The Blood of Dawnwalker will receive a new Performance Mode through its day-one patch on September 3, 2026. Rebel Wolves says the mode will target 60 FPS on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro and Xbox Series X.
The announcement changes the console configuration disclosed several days earlier. Rebel Wolves had previously confirmed Quality and Balanced options but had not committed to a 60 FPS option for launch.
PS5 and Xbox Series X will have three performance options
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will each offer three graphics modes after the launch patch. Performance Mode targets 60 FPS, Balanced Mode targets 40 FPS and Quality Mode targets 30 FPS.
- Performance Mode: targeting 60 FPS
- Balanced Mode: targeting 40 FPS
- Quality Mode: targeting 30 FPS
PlayStation 5 Pro uses the same three frame-rate targets. Rebel Wolves also says the PS5 Pro version provides overall visual enhancements, although the August 24 announcement does not provide a detailed breakdown of those enhancements.
Xbox Series S remains at 30 FPS
Xbox Series S is not included in the 60 FPS Performance Mode rollout. Rebel Wolves lists a single mode for the console targeting 30 FPS.
The announcement is specifically about the console versions. No new PC performance mode or PC configuration change was announced as part of the August 24 update.
The mode was already being tested
Rebel Wolves says the 60 FPS Performance Mode was already in development when it published the earlier console performance information. At that point, testing had not progressed far enough for the studio to promise the mode for release day.
The developer said player feedback showed how important a higher frame-rate option was to console players. The team then focused on completing another round of tests, and the results gave it enough confidence to commit to Performance Mode for day one.
The launch patch arrives September 3
The Blood of Dawnwalker launches on September 3, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Players on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X will need the launch patch for the new Performance Mode targeting 60 FPS.
The 60 FPS confirmation is a new development following the earlier console-mode announcement. Quality and Balanced modes remain available on the supported consoles, with the new Performance option adding a third frame-rate target on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X.
