Dawnwalker 60 FPS Mode on PS5 & Xbox: All Console Modes

Official 60, 40 and 30 FPS targets, Day‑1 patch requirement, PS5 Pro enhancements, and the Xbox Series S limit.

Quick answer

The Day‑1 console patch adds a Performance Mode targeting 60 FPS on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X. Those consoles also offer Balanced at 40 FPS and Quality at 30 FPS. Xbox Series S is limited to a 30 FPS target.

Official console modes

Rebel Wolves confirmed the complete launch targets after finishing another round of performance testing. Performance Mode is delivered through the Day‑1 patch, so a disc installation without the update does not provide the final mode set.

  • PS5: Performance 60 FPS, Balanced 40 FPS, Quality 30 FPS
  • PS5 Pro: Performance 60 FPS, Balanced 40 FPS, Quality 30 FPS
  • Xbox Series X: Performance 60 FPS, Balanced 40 FPS, Quality 30 FPS
  • Xbox Series S: 30 FPS target only

What PS5 Pro adds

The developer says PS5 Pro provides overall visual enhancements in addition to the same three target modes. It has not published a complete resolution, ray-tracing, or image-quality comparison, so the exact enhancement should not be guessed from the label alone.

Target FPS is not a benchmark

A 60 FPS target confirms the mode and its goal, not a locked frame rate in every scene. Stable-performance conclusions still require retail-build frame-time testing in combat, settlements, and open-world traversal after the launch patch is installed.

Launch setup

Connect the console before first play, install the launch update, then choose a mode in the graphics menu. Balanced 40 FPS can be most useful on a compatible 120 Hz display; confirm the console output and display settings before judging that mode.
