Assassin's Creed Valhalla will run "at least 30FPS" on Xbox Series X according to Ubisoft
Not ideal, but Ubisoft could aim for 60FPS by the time it launches.
What you need to know
- Assassin's Creed Valhalla takes place during the Dark Ages in England and Norway.
- According to Ubisoft, it will run "at least 30FPS" on Xbox Series X.
- It will also support 4K resolution and benefit from faster loading times.
Despite 60FPS being the standard output on Xbox Series X, it looks like one major upcoming title may not hit that benchmark. According to a Ubisoft spokesperson speaking with Eurogamer's Portugal branch, Assassin's Creed Valhalla will run "at least 30FPS" on Xbox Series X.
Bear in mind that this is a translation of the quote, but 30FPS seems pretty clear. Still, the door wasn't shut on the possibility of 60FPS. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is still several months from release, and Ubisoft could optimize it by that time to at least offer the option of favoring resolution or frame rate like some current-gen games do right now. It is also set to support 4K resolution and take advantage of the Xbox Series X's SSD for faster loading times.
