It's virtually impossible for a game to launch smoothly these days.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is being criticized by gamers for its performance issues on the Xbox Series S. One Reddit user expressed their frustration, saying they were ready to buy the game until they were told it only runs at 30 frames per second (FPS). on the S series.

The absence of a performance mode on the Series S has left gamers disappointed and questioning the developers' decisions. Especially when 60 FPS is available on other consoles and PC.

The game's performance issues aren't exclusive to the Xbox Series S. Players are also noting that even on high-end systems like the Xbox Series X and gaming PCs, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is experiencing significant frame rate drops and stuttering. For example, players using the Steam version have noted occasional stuttering during graphically intensive scenes in the game. However, players have also reported that the Game Pass version of the game has even worse performance for some reason.
