WB Games Montreal has confirmed Gotham Knights on consoles will not include performance options that have become more common in other titles.
Instead, the console ports of the game will only run at a max of 30 frames per second.
“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,” executive producer Fleur Marty said. “It’s not as straightforward as lowering the resolution and getting a higher FPS.”
He added, “For this reason, our game does not have a performance/quality toggle option and will run at 30FPS on consoles.”
This performance issue does give more explanation as to why the company canceled the originally planned PS4 and Xbox One releases for the title.
Perhaps this also gives an idea to their development cycle, as the game was originally supposed to come out in 2021 before being delayed to the date we currently have set for its launch.
Gotham Knights is set to release on October 21st across Windows PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
