Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is one of the most anticipated games of 2024. And, from the looks of it, this new Unreal Engine 5-powered game will be able to run with 60fps only on PC.
The Verge’s Tom Warren claimed that the Xbox Series X|S version of Hellblade 2 will be locked at 30fps. As such, the only platform that will be able to run the game with 60fps – or even more – is the PC.
That’s a similar situation with Dragon’s Dogma 2. Capcom’s title is able to achieve 60fps – and more via DLSS 3 – only on PC. Its console versions struggle to hit 30fps, with the framerate dropping even to 23-25fps in big cities.
This shouldn’t of course surprise us. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will be most likely using both Nanite and Lumen. And, in order to push its next-gen visuals, the Xbox consoles will only be able to provide a 30fps experience. This is something we’ll be, most likely, witnessing in a lot of future games.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will be released on May 21st. For what it’s worth, Microsoft hasn’t shared its PC system requirements as of yet. However, we do know that Hellblade 2 will hit both Microsoft Store and Steam.
Since I liked the first Hellblade game, I’m really looking forward to its sequel. From what I’ve seen, Senua’s Saga will be similar to it. Its combat also appears to be similar, with Senua fighting one enemy at a time.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
Hellblade 2 looks like it’s going to be one of the best looking Xbox games yet. A true next-gen game built on Unreal Engine 5, but it’ll only run at 30fps on Xbox Series X / S https://t.co/JOg11q7kwx
