Expectations for Dragon's Dogma 2 are high, especially considering the franchise's leap to the next level after what was shown in the first game. The quality of Capcom's team responsible for this role-playing, adventure, and fantasy title is unquestionable, but they may encounter an issue typical of the current generation of consoles, something that generally sparks controversy among players.
Dragon's Dogma 2 will run at 30 fps on consoles, according to an insider
According to a report from PC_Focus on X, a Japanese insider who has leaked accurate information in recent months revealed that Dragon's Dogma 2 will be limited to 30 frames per second on its console version, namely PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. While this is a rumor, it is enough to check the game's specifications on Steam, which indicate a frame rate of 30 frames per second for both minimum and recommended settings, although it is believed that there might be an option for 60 FPS on more powerful systems.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC/Steam on March 22, 2024. Pre-order now!

The issue in question would remain on consoles as it is not uncommon for studios in this generation to target 30 frames per second to ensure stability. At the same time, some creatives have expressed that achieving a frame rate of 60 frames per second on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S is a challenging task that may or may not be considered within the original development plan, depending on the title and its concept.
So far, Capcom has managed to make recent installments of Resident Evil and Devil May Cry run at 60 frames per second and 4K HDR with Ray tracing turned off, and even Resident Evil Village achieves 45 fps and 1440p on Xbox Series S, so there are possibilities that the same could happen with Dragon's Dogma. However, in these cases, it concerns games with defined and very limited spaces, unlike Hideaki Itsuno's adventure and fantasy game, which will take place in vast environments with unexpected situations, huge enemies, and long-lasting battles.
Dragon's Dogma 2 will debut on March 22 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. In this link, you will find more information about Capcom's new work, including its unexpected influences from a title like GTA V.
