State of Decay 2 New Update Brings 60fps to Xbox Series X

A surprise State of Decay 2 new update has been released upping it’s performance and allowing higher frames-per-second (fps) on the Xbox Series X.

While State of Decay 2 did feature unlock FPS on the Xbox One console, it’s performance was rather hit and miss as noted by Digital Foundry. In fact, in their original testing they found that the Xbox One S ran at a higher resolution than the One X, though both consoles never hit 60FPS.

Performance on the Series X was also found to be similar up until yesterday when a new1GB patch that released. From what’s being reported on the internet, and some videos, this update has introduced an increase in performance that allows the game to finally hit 60FPS. This is according to Dealer- Gaming, a Youtube channel who has uploaded a new video showing off State of Decay 2 with noticeable frame-rate improvements. Have a watch down below.




While no in-depth analysis was done in this video, for those who have played State of Decay 2 on either the Xbox One or Series X will notice instantly from the video the far better FPS, along with the frame-pacing issue now seemingly being gone. No reports have been found if this update also improves performance on the Xbox One X.

Undead Labs have yet to comment on the release of the update, which is a bit surprising considering the bump in performance it brings. Hopefully we see some more Xbox One titles receiving updates so that they may take advantage of next-gen hardware. This goes without saying that the Series X already adds additional benefits to a number of backwards compatible titles without a need for an update.

This is State of Decay, let's be real...other than Ark, there aren't many other games out there that are more deserving of the "up to" 60fps moniker.

You cant always judge a book by its cover. This game would often hit high 90's for gpu usage at 60fps at 1080p on my 980ti.
In fact i'd be interested to see what resolution it is on XSX because XSX is not 4 times more powerful than my 980ti, so if its hitting 4k/60 then they need to get doing some optimizing on the PC version lol.

This game is trash with or without 60fps. This just felt like a chore to play with the same mission types over and over. And no real story to it. I hope 3 is more like the original one. First game was way better imo.
I agree I loved the first and was very disappointed in the second.

Does the first game have an actual narrative to it? Got bored real quick after the tutorial for the 2nd game

Just bumping to ask about the Homecoming update and how you begin a game. I loaded it up and on the menu is the original campaign and Heartland, I don't know how to start Homecoming, what do you have to do?
 
idk why you need a thread for every single game that has a 60fps patch. There's nothing revolutionary about playing video games at 60fps.
