“Dragon’s Dogma 2” released by Capcom in early 2024 has now received a major update 3.2. With it, a performance-first, proven model appears in games on consoles. The first tests have emerged showing how it works on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
Testing Dragon’s Dogma 2 on Xbox Series X
On Xbox Series X, “Dragon’s Dogma 2” allows players to switch between prioritizing quality and performance. There is also an option to choose the quality of resource-intensive effects – between “Low” and “High”. The frame rate can be fixed or variable.
- In performance-first mode, players can get 1728p and upgrade to 4K resolution. 60 FPS remains pretty solid with any effects option. On a 120 Hz screen you can get 70-80 frames.
- In quality priority mode, players can get full 4K resolution. The frame rate here is about 40-50, you can fix it at 30 to make the game more comfortable.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 beta on Xbox Series S
On Xbox Series S, the settings are different from Xbox Series X. Here you can select just graphics or FPS priority, and fix the frame rate or leave it variable.
- In performance-first mode, 1440p is upscaled to 4K. There are about 45-55 frames in this mode, and the frequency rarely reaches 60FPS.
- In quality-first mode, it’s also 1440p, upscaled to 4K. In this mode, around 30-40 FPS.
Let us remind you that Capcom recently permanently reduced the price of Dragon’s Dogma 2 on Xbox ahead of the DLC’s imminent release.
