Since its launch in early 2024, Dragon's Dogma II has achieved remarkable success. Despite some initial controversies, it has proven its popularity by surpassing 2.5 million copies sold for Capcom in just over a week.
After release, Dragon's Dogma II faced performance issues, with players frequently reporting frame rate drops and crashes, especially on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Although these problems lingered for a while, Capcom recently issued a patch allowing players to prioritize graphics quality or performance.

Capcom announced new features in the latest update for Dragon's Dogma II on multiple platforms—PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC (via Steam). Players now have the choice between "Prioritize Graphics" and "Prioritize Performance" in the "Graphics" section of the Options menu. With this update, both the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions can now reach up to 60 FPS, providing a smoother experience.
The update also includes a chart with detailed resolution and frame rate data for each mode on different platforms, giving players insight into how "Prioritize Graphics" and "Prioritize Performance" will impact gameplay on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC, so they can pick the optimal settings based on their preferences.
According to this chart, both the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions offer a 1728p resolution with a frame rate of 50–60 FPS on "Prioritize Performance." Players looking for a more immersive visual experience can select "Prioritize Graphics" for 2160p resolution at 30–40 FPS. With the PS5 Pro coming soon, it remains to be seen how Dragon's Dogma II will perform on this upgraded console. However, with enhanced specs over the current PS5, the game may surpass the current 60FPS limit, ensuring an even smoother experience.
Dragon's Dogma II has been out for a while, but Capcom is doing an excellent job of improving the game months after its release.
