Gotham Knights Confirmed to Run at 30FPS on PS5 and Xbox Series; No Performance or Quality Toggle

For those keeping a close eye on Gotham Knights, you may have seen some reports being published earlier today that the title would be running at 30fps. While not official, the report noted that there were no graphical options, meaning that players would be stuck with the default presets the studio is providing. Well, WB Games Montréal has finally come out to clear the air, confirming the very report and the reasoning behind the decision. 

Taking to the official Gotham Knights Discord channel, game’s Executive Producer Fleur Marty clarified to the community that Gotham Knights will be running at 30fps on both the PS5 and Xbox Series. 

I know many of you are wondering about the availability of a performance mode for Gotham Knights on consoles. Due to the types of features we have in our game, like providing a fully untethered co-op experience in our highly detailed open-world, it’s not as straightforward as lowering the resolution and getting a higher FPS. For this reason, our game does not have a performance/quality toggle option and will run at 30FPS on consoles.

A bit of a surprise considering that most titles nowadays have different graphical options on consoles, giving them either a performance or quality mode. Maybe perhaps down the road the title may see a performance patch, but for now we’ll have to settle for the 30fps mode offered.
