    Since they’re locking Consoles to 30 fps I’m worried their Recommended settings are using that as baseline as well.

    If that’s the case I’ll wait for some IT hero with too much free time to upload their optimisation mod to nexus 😂

      I won’t be getting it day1 as I have an RTX 30-series GPU that is half the performance of the minimum requirement, hopefully this is a case of them being overly cautious.

        I feel like getting any big game day 1 is risky. I usually give most games 6 months to mature now.

      It does make me wonder what awful things they’re getting that poor creation engine to do.

      To be fair I remember Fallout 3 being a bit of a nightmare to play at launch too.
