Obsidian Entertainment’s Pentiment launched last week for PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch after being exclusive to Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC. The side-scrolling 2D role-playing game supports 120 frames per second on PS5, which was a bonus. However, in a strange twist, the Xbox Series X version now only runs at 60 FPS.
This is despite running at 120 FPS previously. While it’s not the biggest issue, especially since Pentiment isn’t the most graphically intense title, it is conspicuous. Fortunately, Obsidian design director revealed that the mode’s absence on Xbox Series X is a bug. It will be available again in the game’s next patch.
Stay tuned for when the patch goes live, and check out our review for Pentiment here. Microsoft is bringing three more titles to other platforms in the coming months, namely Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves on PS5 and Grounded for PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch.
120fps will be enabled for XBOX in the next patch. It being disabled is just a bug.
