Sonic Frontiers Will Run at 60 FPS Only on PlayStation 5

Sonic Frontiers will run at 60 FPS on PlayStation 5 and presumably Xbox Series X, according to a new report from Tokyo Game Show 2022.

Speaking on Twitter, @tadanohi reported that they have spoken with a representative at the game’s booth during TGS 2022 who confirmed that the next entry in the series by SEGA will run on Playstation 5 at 4K, 30FPS and 1080p, 60 FPS, the PlayStation 4 version at 1080p, 30 FPS and the Nintendo Switch version at 720p, 30 FPS in both docked and handheld modes.

Unfortunately, @tadanohi hasn’t asked about the Sonic Frontiers Xbox Series X|S version, but it’s safe to assume that the game will run at the same resolution and framerate as the PlayStation 5 release at least on Xbox Series X.

i’m not an xbox user.

As SEGA and Sonic Team have yet to confirm these Sonic Frontiers specs, we must take this report with a grain of salt. If confirmed, they will be very disappointing, especially regarding the framerate for the previous generation version of the game, considering how fast Sonic games are.

Sonic Frontiers launches on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on November 8th worldwide. You can learn more about the game by watching a recent overview trailer.
