PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Is 60 FPS On Xbox One X, Less On Basic Xbox One
Brendan Greene, known best as PlayerUnknown, confirmed to GamesTM that the mega-popular battle royale game is aiming to run at 60 frames per second on the Xbox One with about half that on the standard Xbox One.
"Definitely on Xbox One X, 60FPS. On Xbox One, we’re not sure," said Greene. "We may have to limit it at 30FPS, maybe, but the last time I saw it, it was running at about 30 to 40."
Greene explained that framerate is not that important for shooters like Battlegrounds, so the difference between the two versions will not be drastic.
"The great thing about Battlegrounds is that it’s not…unlike the more high paced shooters, frame rate isn’t that important," Greene pointed out. "Yes, it is important, but it’s not as important for us as it is in a twitch shooter. So we’re aiming for 60; not sure if we’ll get there, but that is our aim."
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds launches as a Game Preview title on Xbox One on December 12, while the game leaves early access on PC some time in December.
