Gotham Knight’s executive producer Fleur Marty announced via a message on the game’s official Discord server that the upcoming action game will not include a performance mode or performance options and will run at a maximum of 30 FPS on all consoles. The announcement has received negative reception from fans on the internet. Gotham Knights are set to launch on October 21 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.The message reads:
“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.”
The game’s details:
Gotham Knights is a brand-new open world, third-person action RPG featuring the Batman Family as players step into the roles of Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin, a new guard of trained DC Super Heroes who must rise up as the protectors of Gotham City in the wake of Batman’s death. An expansive, criminal underworld has swept through the streets of Gotham, and it is now up to these new heroes to protect the city, bring hope to its citizens, discipline to its cops and fear to its criminals. Players must save Gotham from descent into chaos and reinvent themselves into their own version of the Dark Knight.
