Gotham Knights will not have any graphics modes on PS5 or Series X|S

One of the core advantages to owning a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S has been the fact that games which release on these new-gen systems typically offer multiple graphics options – allowing you to play at 30fps, 60fps and even beyond, depending on the game. Unfortunately, WB have now confirmed that the upcoming Gotham Knights will be limited to 30fps even on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

In anticipation of Gotham Knight’s upcoming release on the 21st of October, fans have been asking for more details regarding the game’s status on consoles. Originally planned for release on both current and previous-gen systems, Gotham Knights was later confirmed to be a current-gen console exclusive.

Until now, little was known about the console versions of Gotham Knights, though the studio has since taken to Discord to confirm some unfortunately bad news, saying (as shared by Wario64):

“Hello everyone I know many of you are wondering about the availability of a performance mode for Gotham Knights on consoles. Due to the types of features we have in our game, like providing a fully untethered co-op experience in our highly detailed open-world, it's not as straightforward as lowering the resolution and getting a higher FPS. For this reason, our game does not have a performance/quality toggle option and will run at 30FPS on consoles.”

This is rather disappointing, as one of the best features of modern systems is the fact that they typically have enough headroom for multiple options when it comes to graphics and performance. Hopefully a future update post-launch adds the functionality.
