Dragon's Dogma 2 Uncapped Frame Rate Put to the Test on PS5, Preview Build Averages 31fps | Push Square
pushsquare.comFresh previews for Dragon's Dogma 2 are dropping, and you know what that means! Yep, it's once again time to discuss the game's frame rate, which has been a hot topic over the last couple of months. Previously, director Hideaki Itsuno confirmed that the game would feature an uncapped frame rate — meaning that it won't be capped at 30 frames-per-second.
However, as many were quick to point out, the problem with an uncapped frame rate is that it can fluctuate, resulting in a potentially choppy experience.
And so here we are, with IGN putting said frame rate to the test in a new video. Based on what IGN played, Dragon's Dogma 2 averages 31fps on PS5, complete with ups and downs depending on how busy things get. So, the frame rate is uncapped — but it's barely approaching that hallowed 60fps.
It needs to be noted, though, that this isn't the final build — something that Capcom was apparently eager to stress. IGN's testing is based on a preview version of the action RPG.

With that in mind, we're crossing our fingers that Dragon's Dogma 2 will at least offer your standard graphical options on Sony's current-gen console. While certainly not ideal for a game that's heavy on action, 30fps isn't the end of the world — but an unstable 30fps can be a real kicker.
What do you make of this? Are you banking on the finished game performing better? Pray for improved performance in the comments section below.

Just give me a stable frame rate, 30 or 60. I do not care for having an uncapped frame rate.
And some people will still claim a PS5 Pro is not needed.
Would prefer a stable frame rate, even at 30, but to be honest I'm just glad they made the game. Ill suffer through the Dips vs having no game at all.
Yikes that's the
