Console players do not have the option to customize the graphics settings, unlike PC. A major section of the console community has reported fps issues since the start of Season 12 Defiance. Some of the reports mention how players are forced to play at a reduced frame rate, especially during combat.

These issues were consistent throughout the season for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch. After numerous player reports, Respawn acknowledged these issues earlier this month. On Feb. 23, 2022, they launched the first of many updates addressing the fps issues for console players. Players can expect these updates to arrive in the upcoming weeks fixing most of the fps-related problems faced by the community.
