Bungie Can't Get Destiny 2 To Run At 60fps On Consoles

It is a few weeks to the official launch of Destiny 2, but it seems that the developer Bungie failed to maintain a speed of 60 FPS even on the fastest consoles of the moment, the PS4 Pro and the next Xbox One X. Instead., the company opted for 30FPS on consoles.

Destiny 2 will run at 30 FPS on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X

One of the main reasons for this, according to Mark Noseworthy, CEO of Bungie, is the CPU inside the consoles, powered by the old AMD Jaguar architecture.

“It is about simulating the world of Destiny. There are thirteen artificial intelligences at the same time, large open spaces, six players, sometimes with vehicles, and soon there will also be ships, and that is precisely why we are using the CPU, ”said Noseworthy for EDGE in an interview that will be published in the number of October 2017 magazine.

"Was it possible to do Destiny at 60FPS? Yes, but the space would have been much smaller, and it would have been less cooperative and with fewer monsters to shoot. That is not the game we wanted to make. First of all, we want it to be an amazing action game. We don't feel like we've been constrained by the decisions we've made about simulating the world versus frame rate. In fact, we believe that we are giving players an experience that they cannot live anywhere else because of the decisions we have made. ”

"But if frame rate is such an important thing to you, there is a platform where you can spend as much money as you want to run the game at the speed you want."

Certainly, there is a single platform where you can enjoy Destiny 2 at 60FPS, and that would be the PC. In fact, the Destiny 2 PC version will feature some very advanced technologies, including unlimited frame rate, support for 4K and 21: 9 resolution, FOV slider, HDR, SLI, and more.

Destiny 2 will be released on September 6 for Xbox One and PS4, while PC players will have to wait for the improved version of the game, which will arrive on October 24.
