IO Interactive’s 007 First Light, released earlier this year, has only been available on Xbox Series X and Playstation 5 in 30 FPS and 60 FPS | 5 Pro options from the start. On Xbox Series S, the project has a 30 FPS option. With a major update released this week, owners of current-generation Xbox consoles are getting the long-awaited 60 FPS mode.
Xbox Series S players in Dawn of Dawn can now choose between two modes:
- “Quality”. Upscaled 1080p resolution, real resolution from 720p to 1080p. The game runs at 30 FPS. Frame rate isn’t always stable; there’s a 3-5 FPS loss in dynamic action scenes.
- “Performance”. 1080p resolution upgraded from around 720p. The game strives for 60 frames per second, and often hits that number. On average, players get around 50-60 FPS in this mode; more severe frame drops rarely occur.
The main difference between quality and performance modes seems to be the RTGI global illumination technology, which is missing at 60fps.
You can watch 007 First Light tested in 60 FPS mode on Xbox Series S in the video below.
