I expect many will sleep on Lil Gator Game but it's one of those rare unsung masterpieces that people hear about in old fables told around a crackling fire

Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga will only run at 30fps on Xbox Series X/S.
The forthcoming game from Ninja Theory has been built exclusively for Xbox and PC using Unreal Engine 5, truly showing the power of the engine.
However, this comes at a cost. As German outlet GamePro has confirmed, the game only runs at 30fps on console with a dynamic resolution. There are no graphics modes, although frame rate can be increased if played on PC.

It's disappointing but I do think 30 fps is probably fine for a game like Hellblade, as long as it's a perfect lock.
The sad reality is that over the last year we've seen that the current consoles will often either give us sub 60 fps performance, or absurdly low resolutions, even sub 1080p at times. I feel like devs have got their priorities all wrong.

It's so frustrating to see performance budgets focused on graphical bells and whistles instead of achieving 60fps. I just finished Ghost of Tsushima and, from an experiential POV, the game feels and plays so much better than games coming out today at 30 fps with more detailed grass textures or whatever.
Unfortunately my suspicion is that devs have strong data to back up the idea that more particle effects and flashy graphics sells games better than solid performance.
Nice to see you back @Bojan11
Please don't tag me because I have no idea who in the world you are.

Update coming to Starfield later this month. Adding 40/60/uncapped FPS performance modes to Series X among other things. Also shows off a moon buggy for planet exploration that will be added in a future update.
I haven't touched my launch day Series X in months. What a joke of a platform.
Xbox is dead. MS know as much.
I traded mine in. Never used it anymore.
You're gonna really regret that in 2027
You should try gamepass
ive had series x since launch day, never once purchased a game but still regularily play games on it. Over last few months I’ve played Remnant 1 and 2, Dead Island 2. I’d never have considered purchasing these games but being on GP made me give them a shot.
The Remnant game’s especially are excellent
You've paid more for those games over time than you would buying them outright if you've had gamepass since launch. That includes all the other games you've played too, since most of them had been free on other platforms or at least heavily discounted.
It's a false economy. But at least it has introduced you to new games! I am a big fan of the Remnant games.
It's almost as if some people weren't questioning why the 30fps in the first place.
Something about sandwiches...
I used the hack for the first 3 years, it cost me €120 for 3 yr Gamepass ultimate. Since then I’ve added some more months via the point scheme they do and also picked up a couple of cheap months on dodgy code websites.
it is finally due to expire in august. So i will need to consider my next steps
Depends on the game. Hellblade 1 wasn’t about moving around quickly and I assume this will mostly the same. I’ll take better graphics for a game like this so long as the fps is smooth. Hopefully they deliver there.
