"We're actively considering a number of additional post-launch improvements on PC that would give players more control over how they can tailor the game's experience to suit their rig's performance. "In the meantime, the team welcomes feedback and would like to hear from you about what performance adjustment options are important to you," the message says. 2K and developer Hangar 13 are seeking feedback about what players would like to see, though. Support for higher frame rates is not the only thing that may be on the way in post-release updates for Mafia III on PC, although no specifics were shared about what else may be in the works.
PC Gamer reports that even lowering the game to 720p and the lowest graphics settings wouldn't produce a frame rate over 30 FPS. This news comes not long after reports surfaced that the PC version was capped at 30 FPS, something which was sure to frustrate owners of high-end PC hardware who expect to be able to play at 60 FPS and beyond. "We'll share more details about the update, and when you can expect it to arrive, very soon."
"We are currently working on an update for PC that will give players the option to play Mafia III at higher framerates," the message continues. The team has been hard at work ensuring that Mafia III's performance is consistent across all platforms, and right now the game runs at a solid 30 frames-per-second," reads a post on the official Mafia website. "We know how important having options that best suit your PC's performance capabilities are. However, the plan is to deliver support for higher frame rates in a future update. That includes PC, where it will initially be limited to a frame rate of 30 FPS.
