Game locks to 30 FPS in menus after the update (Xbox)

Surgee · July 30

After the recent update, whenever you open any menu, for example your inventory, the game drops and locks to 30 fps despite being in PERFORMANCE MODE. I gotta say it's very distracting. Everything was perfectly smooth before the update.

Platform: XBOX SERIES X
Graphics settings: PERFORMANCE

This is not a bug. It is an intentional part of the sustainability features introduced on all platforms with the recent update. PC/Mac players can turn it off in the settings file. Console players do not have an option.

Yes, we are back to PS4 performance on PS5.
