Sadly, that won’t be the case. Remedy has confirmed to Game Informer that Alan Wake 2 won’t have a Performance Mode on Xbox Series S. Though specifics on the game’s performance and resolution targets and each individual system have yet to be confirmed, it doesn’t look like those intending to play the game on the Xbox Series S will be able to run it at 60 FPS.

Alan Wake 2 is due out on October 27 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
