Redfall Was Originally Advertised To Have 60 FPS+ On The Xbox Store

If you’ve been on the gaming side of Twitter or any social media platform in the last few days you’ll likely have stumbled across the controversy surrounding Arkane Studio’s upcoming vampire-centric First Person Shooter title Redfall. With the title set to launch on May 2nd, 2023 the game’s Twitter account notified players that the game would be launching with a locked framerate of 30 FPS on launch with a 60 FPS performance mode scheduled to be released after launch as an update.

Xbox fans of the upcoming title were disappointed to put it lightly as most of the footage shared with the press and through Redfall’s social accounts had been posted in 60 FPS so the recent news came entirely out of nowhere for a lot of fans eagerly anticipating the game’s launch. However, it appears that the decision to launch Redfall at 30 FPS wasn’t always the case as up until recently, the game advertised that it would run at 60 FPS+ on the Xbox Store.

The above screenshot comes from an archived web page of the Xbox Store stating the listing of 60 FPS+. However, after Arkane’s recent announcement this has since been removed. For fans wondering if this addition along with the ‘PC Game Pad’ note is present due to the PC release of the game it should also be noted that the PC version of the application has also removed the 60 FPS+ tag now.

Also for anyone saying that the PC version may be the reason 60FPS+ or PC Gamepad are listed it is not. The below image is straight from the PC App for the PC version. No 60 FPS+ listed. And PC Gamepad can even be seen as "other capabilities" on the Xbox Series X store page. pic.twitter.com/iqSMKgM4cg

Alongside this, it’s extremely unlikely that the PC version of Redfall will not include 60 FPS+ at launch
