It isn’t too surprising that it’ll be 30 FPS target on console. Maybe a post launch performance mode could still happen.
There were a few shots in the most recent showcase that looked pretty rough FPS-wise. Specifically the clips with a rapid firing weapon. I’d assume they are using beefy RTX 4090 rigs to capture their footage. Never a good sign if you are dropping to sub 25 FPS during an action scene with that kind of setup.
I know the big optimization pass is at the end of a development cycle - so there is likely going to be some improvement. Unfortunately Bethesda’s track record is less than stellar when it comes to launch day performance.
