Direct answer

Developer-linked launch reporting names three targets on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X: Performance at 60 FPS, Balanced at 40 FPS, and Quality at 30 FPS. The 60 FPS target is tied to a day-one patch. The cited announcement does not establish equivalent Series S modes.

Safe first pass

Do this first

  1. Install the current game and system update before comparing modes.
  2. Choose Performance for the highest stated frame-rate target.
  3. Choose Balanced for the reported 40 FPS compromise, ideally on a compatible display.
  4. Choose Quality when image treatment matters more than the 30 FPS target.
  5. Retest the same scene and keep the mode that feels best on your display.

Mode targets at launch

GamesRadar reports that Rebel Wolves reshuffled its plan after player feedback and targeted 60 FPS through the day-one patch. Treat 60, 40, and 30 as targets, not guarantees that every scene is perfectly locked.

  • Performance: 60 FPS target.
  • Balanced: 40 FPS target.
  • Quality: 30 FPS target.
  • Named platforms: PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X.

PS5 preset note

PS5 can store a system preference for Performance Mode or Resolution Mode when a title supports those presets. The game’s own graphics menu remains the clearest place to confirm the active mode.

Stop pointDo not extend the cited mode list to Xbox Series S without a source that names it.
