Dragon’s Dogma 2 arrives on March 22, 2024 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. A sequel eagerly awaited by fans of the first episode, and which should satisfy them on a specific point. But there is a catch.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be one of the great highlights of video games this year. After more than 10 years of waiting, Capcom’s action-RPG is about to return to consoles and PC. But some time ago, some players were concerned about information that circulated on the Web. To cut short this hallway noise, game director Hideaki Itsuno made an announcement.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 in 30 or 60fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S?
The release of the next Capcom title is fast approaching, and game director Hideaki Itsuno wanted to provide a quick technical update. Contrary to what has been said recently, no, the game will not be at 30fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The teams instead opted for an undefined frame rate. “Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be released with an unblocked framerate” announced the developer on his X account.
What does this imply ? Dragon’s Dogma 2 may be able to run at 60fps, but not necessarily all the time. Which means that more or less significant reductions could take place. And ultimately, that worries players and John Linneman, editor for Digital Foundry, more than anything else. “That’s what I was afraid of. I hope there will be some sort of Performance mode. The game really needs an option with 30fps blocked, because from what I’ve seen, it’s very unstable ».
To see if the VRR, which precisely compensates for these variations in the framerate, will be possible or not on the PS5 and Xbox Series A compatible monitor or TV is required. So if your screen is around ten years old, you can already give it up. And even all current models do not have this functionality, since as always it depends on the range.
