Pentiment players on Xbox have noticed that the game doesn’t feature 120 frames per second (fps) like the PlayStation 5 version, but Obsidian Entertainment has confirmed that this will be added in a new patch.
Last week, following the February 21 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase presentation, the adventure role-playing game was released for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, after being an Xbox exclusive title since its launch in 2022.
However, following the surprise release, some players have noticed that the PS5 version of the game seems to have better performance than its Xbox Series IGN). An user shared a YouTube video comparison on X (formerly Twitter) showing that Pentiment can run at 120 FPS on PS5, but is locked at 60 FPS on the Xbox Series
However, according to Pentiment game director Josh Sawyer, there’s no need to worry as the issue is simply a bug and 120fps will be added in an upcoming patch.
“120fps will be enabled in the next patch for Xbox,” says Sawyer said in response to another user’s question as to why the PS5 version runs at a higher frame rate. “Disabling it is just a bug.”
We don’t know when the next Xbox patch will come out, but users can look forward to it. Pentiment is also available to play on Xbox One and PC via Xbox Game Pass and Steam.
The game’s Nintendo Switch and PS5 release was one of several announcements made during the showcase. Pentiment is one of four Xbox first-party games headed to other platforms as part of Microsoft’s new multiplatform plan, joining 2020’s survival multiplayer game Grounded, HiFi rushAnd Sea of thieves.
