    Todd said they capped it at 30 for fidelity (= high quality settings). Series X supports variable refresh rate if your TV can utilize it (no tearing). Series X chooses applicable refresh rate which you can also override. All TVs support 60, many 120, and VRR is gaining traction, too.

    Let’s take Remnant II, it has setting for quality (30) balanced (60) and uncapped - pick what you like.

    CE is still CE, all the same floaty npc, hitting through walls, bad utilisation of hardware have been there for ages. They can’t fix it, so it’s likely tech debt. They need to start fresh or jump to an already working modern engine.
