Redfall Performance Mode Update Patch Xbox Series X/S

Developer Arkane Studios' multiplayer vampire shooter Redfall launched earlier this year to middling reviews from critics and players alike – Game Informer gave the game a 5 out of 10. Ahead of its launch in May, Xbox revealed that Redfall would only launch with a 30 FPS Quality Mode on Xbox Series X/S, noting that a Performance Mode would arrive at a later unspecified date. Nearly six months later, that date has arrived: Performance Mode is now live in Redfall. 

Publisher Bethesda's patch notes about today's Redfall update don't specify how exactly this Performance Mode works, but presumably, it runs the game at 60 FPS. This update also brings some heavily requested features to Arkane as well, including stealth takedowns, more accessibility options, multiplayer communication improvements, and more. 

"This patch brings a Performance Mode to Xbox Series X/S, stealth takedowns, new controller settings, accessibility improvements, and much more," the update notes read. "Explore an even more dangerous Redfall with an increased open-world enemy population and new encounters."

Below is the full rundown of everything in today's Redfall update:
