Short answer
Yes. The Blood of Dawnwalker is officially listed for PlayStation 5, with a September 3, 2026 launch date from the publisher. The latest developer update says PS5 and PS5 Pro have a Performance Mode targeting 60 FPS through the day-one patch; that is a target, not an independent locked-performance result.
PS5 facts at a glance.
The platform answer is clear before launch. The useful distinction is between what the publisher has announced and what only a retail PS5 test can establish.
Which editions are listed for PS5?
The official shop lists Standard, Eclipse, Day 1, and Collector's Edition options. Use the Day 1 Edition guide for a closer contents check; this page only answers the platform question.

PS5 performance modes.
A developer update reported ahead of launch adds a Performance Mode targeting 60 FPS on PS5 and PS5 Pro through the day-one patch. The wording matters: target FPS is an announced goal, while locked FPS, resolution, VRR behavior, and demanding-scene stability still require a retail-build test.
| Platform | Performance target | Other reported targets | State |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 | 60 FPS Performance Mode | 40 FPS Balanced / 30 FPS Quality | Developer target |
| PS5 Pro | 60 FPS Performance Mode | 40 FPS Balanced / 30 FPS Quality | Developer target |
| Xbox Series X | 60 FPS Performance Mode | 40 FPS Balanced / 30 FPS Quality | Developer target |
| Xbox Series S | Separate platform check | Do not infer from Series X | Needs verification |
What to check on the PS5 retail build.
These are the measurements that will turn the platform page from an announcement into a useful player answer. They are deliberately not guessed from trailers or PC requirements.
- Record the installed version.Write the launch patch, platform region, and whether the test uses disc or digital.
- Check display modes.Capture the in-game options and whether a mode changes resolution, frame rate, or visual effects.
- Repeat a demanding route.Use the same settlement, combat encounter, and traversal segment so observations are comparable.
- Publish only measured results.Separate an observed retail result from a developer statement or a community report.

Will the PS5 version have 60 FPS?
A developer update says the PS5 Performance Mode targets 60 FPS through the day-one patch. That target still needs independent testing for stability, resolution, VRR behavior, and demanding scenes.

The announced Performance Mode targets 60 FPS on PS5 Pro as well. Treat that as a launch target until the installed retail build is tested and the patch version is recorded.
