After months and months of silence, Arkane delivered 'Update 2' for Redfall late last week - including the game's long-awaited 60FPS mode. The new patch has been getting good feedback so far, but we wanted to check it out for ourselves and see how things are shaping up.
We've not put enough time into Redfall Update 2 just yet to test out all the changes, but we have got a good feel for the new performance mode options on Xbox Series X and S - as you can see in the video up above.
60FPS in a shooter these days feels almost essential, so we're glad to see the option added here for Redfall, even if we've had to wait for its arrival. For what it's worth, the new mode seems to run just fine for us across both Xbox Series consoles and is now our recommended way to play Redfall.
If you'd like to check out the full Redfall Update 2 patch notes, or read about some early impressions of the new changes, you'll find them via the links down below.
Happy to see 60FPS finally come to Redfall? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

This was one of my favorite games that I've played this year. The performance boost is a great excuse for me to now go in and do new game plus. Awesome!
That’s give it another go, looking smoother.
Redownloaded, gameplay is way better on 60fps and stealthy takedowns, didn't notice any difference from quality mode on a 4k tv tbh
ALSO there is still no matchmaking, so I have to play solo, bring my friends somehow to this game or search for new friends off the beaten path on xbox groups...such a basic feature, like why make a game targeted at co op if there is no matchmaking? Probably won't play until it is added...IF it gets added
It is a noticeable upgrade from launch but still not a great game, I feel like Romans12 may own stock in Arkane
It's a terrible game full stop
with the 60 fps its one of the best games this year. only starfield beats it. play as devinder if going solo. he has the solution when vamps surround you.
@Romans12
I truly hope, really truly hope this game is salvageable.
I don't know that I've ever been so bitter about a disastrous release. If you haven't read Steven King " Salems Lot", this game was what I dreamed that world world look like in video game form.
So insanely bummed out, hoping it gets a few more major patches
Doesn’t matter what they do, the game is done for. Anyone Google’s it to see if it’s worth playing/downloading all they will get is the ridiculously buggy videos, poor reviews and so on.
Hell outside of GP no one is playing it, wasn’t it steam that recently had 50 concurrent players? For co-op stuff it has to hit day 1. Or people forget it and move on.
Still can’t believe how much BS people try to say by saying it was a good game and so on. Like it’s going to convince anyone.
@rustyduck one could even say it's double the game it once was with 60 FPS mode.
Doing another full playthrough, I like this game. I'm even more confident now than ever in my this is better than deathloop take (I think deathloop is pretty good too).
Was not a great game but me being a little older than some of you out there trust me there are far far worse
I toi am replaying. The patch is a definite improvement. The AI with enemy spawning seems to be improving as well.
Removed - trolling/baiting
Haven’t played it yet but I’ll give it a go soon. Despite the poor reception, the gameplay I’ve seen looks kinda fun. The 60fps and other fixes seem like a good reason to finally jump in and try it.
Gaming discourse on the internet at its finest. A few people discussing the improvements and what they liked about the game, then two posters saying anyone who claims to like it is talking ‘BS’ and a ‘fanboy.’ Stay classy guys.
@Dan1283 In your opinion. Just because you think the game is awful doesn't mean other people cannot have the opposite view. Whether a game is good or not is largely subjective.
I finally tried Redfall last night, on my XSS (not my XSX) as I wanted to see it at it's 'worst' to see what everyone was crying about. Well, from my play of around an hour or so I thought it looked good, performed well and controlled very smoothly.
I left all options to the defaults other than selecting perfomance mode. I was pretty impressed, it looks like fun, if you have Gamepass it's a no brainer to give it a go.
@Kezelpaso
When you click the YouTube button under the video it take you to a different Pure Xbox account page which has no videos and only 18 subscribers.
@JetmanUK Sorted. Thankya for the spot!
If you played this at launch then uninstalled it within the first day as I did, I'd urge you to give it another go.
Re-downloaded to my XsX after the 2.0 patch and its like a totally different game.
Obviously 60fps helps a lot but also much improved a.i. and lighting. A ton of bug fixes and some QoL.
After note: Been absolutely loving Starfield as most people. But man, jumped into Forza Motorsport last nite and wow. Close call, seriously but I reckon imo Forza just beats GT.
