The full technical details reveal features like Resolution, 4K compatibility, HDR support, game storage capacity, and frame rate for this game. However, it’s the frame rate that has some gamers talking. With the Switch 2 now matching other consoles in terms of performance, many assumed games would run at 60 frames per second (fps) as a standard. However, it appears that Digimon Story: Time Stranger will operate at 30fps on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S systems. This revelation has left some Digimon enthusiasts questioning their preferred platform for the upcoming game.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger Frame Rate Shocks Fans

Many people are taken aback to learn that the game Time Stranger will run at 30 frames per second (fps) on console. Since the game’s graphics don’t seem particularly taxing, and the combat is turn-based, some fans suspect that it may not have been optimized well for consoles. However, in recent years, games like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and Monster Hunter Wilds have experienced frame rate drops. As a result, many gamers argue that 30fps without any drops is preferable to a game striving for 60fps but failing to maintain the smoothness.

Although many console gamers may find 30fps acceptable, some players prefer to purchase the game on PC instead. The recently unveiled specifications for Digimon Story: Time Stranger indicate it can achieve 60fps on Steam under ideal circumstances. This enhanced performance is enticing some gamers to buy the game for their PC, rather than consoles such as PS5 and Xbox. Despite the fact that the enhanced editions are only available for PS5 at this time, this might be a slight disappointment. However, for some players, the improved optimization is considered more valuable than sacrificing a few digital bonuses.

Though some might find the frame rate of the upcoming game less than ideal, most enthusiasts remain thrilled about it. In truth, numerous fans have found enjoyment in Scarlet and Violet, even with its frame rate troubles. Here’s hoping that Digimon Story: Time Stranger will maintain a steady 30fps, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience overall.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger comes out on October 3rd for PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
