Actually, my comment stemmed from another article on this same topic:
“ Last year, Obsidian Entertainment’s Art Director, Matt Hansen, stated that Avowed is “targeting 30 FPS†on consoles. Now, the studio has confirmed that Avowed players “can get up to 60 (FPS)” on Xbox Series X. This was confirmed as part of a rapid-fire interview with MinnMax. What’s worth noting about this new statement is that Obsidian is not promising locked 60 FPS framerates on Xbox Series X in Avowed. That said, we would expect this mode to deliver a relatively stable framerate.”
Usually when devs don’t specify ‘locked’ 60fps it means that they are targeting 60fps. That could mean dips below 60fps at times which may be a little ‘choppy’ during a lot of onscreen action.
