The Evil Within is locked at 30 FPS on PC

4.6
The PC port of The Evil Within will be locked at 30 frames-per-second, just like the console version, Bethesda has confirmed.

Despite requiring a hefty PC to run it on recommended settings, The Evil Within will still be locked at 30FPS on PC, similar to the Xbox One and PS4 versions.

Bethesda confirmed this and much more in a forum post. “Shinji Mikami and the team at Tango designed The Evil Within to be played at 30fps and to utilize an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 for all platforms,” it reads.

“The team has worked the last four years perfecting the game experience with these settings in mind.”

Bethesda added that it will provide a list of debug commands that would let you unlock the game’s framerate and aspect ratio, though it warned that they’re not recommended or supported.

The publisher also added that the 4GB VRAM requirement on PC is due to new-gen consoles having 8GB of unified ram. The PC version being an identical port, is why it requires this amount of VRAM.

GreatLogic I can't believe people actually say that they can't tell the difference. Its obvious.


Well its a proven fact that you cant but if you play enough games at 60 FPS you will be able to tell the difference it will seem a bit glitchy.

Gaps I love how people are complaining about this... You cant even tell FPS after it goes past 20fps so 30 is fine.


I love how people like you think they know what they are talking about but in reality making themselves look stupid.

SgtHatred42 Ohhh man what happened to pc master race? Lol


It's almost like any other competent developer can use the benefits of PC to their advantage. It's crazy because PC still gets 1080p... and 1440p... and 4k for that matter.

But consoles on the other hand...
Xbox One: "a meagre 1600x640 on Xbox One."
PS4: "we're left with a 1920x768 resolution on PlayStation 4."

The 30FPS isn't even stable, lol.
