If you were expecting next-gen to run at a baseline of 4K/60fps for all games, you might want to dial that back. Ubisoft confirmed that the cross-gen Viking-themed Assassin?s Creed Valhalla ?will run at least 30 FPS? on the Xbox Series X in a ?stunning 4K resolution.? Despite being designed at a base level for the ?lowest common denominator? (so to speak) of current-gen consoles, next-gen versions of the game aren?t even guaranteed to hit 60fps.
The quote comes from Eurogamer Portugal, who reached out to Ubisoft after the ?Optimized for Series X? listing on the Xbox website (image above) failed to show badges for either raytracing or 60fps, only highlighting 4K and Smart Delivery in its next-gen features. Ironically, the same listing touts optimized games as having ?unparalleled load times, visuals, responsiveness, and frame rates up to 120fps.? Here?s Ubisoft?s full quote to Eurogamer regarding the Xbox site listing for Assassin?s Creed Valhalla:
