“PC gamers are perhaps more educated in matters of performance than they used to be, and with that comes a desire for games that run better and can take full advantage of the hardware they own.

“Over the past few years I feel many PC gamers have become very aware of how powerful the PC can be in comparison to the current generation of consoles and their expectations have risen in accordance with that,” Bain told me via email. His goal was one of simple practicality: he wanted to objectively inform prospective buyers of games’ framerates and, in turn, give them an indication of how they’d play. The Framerate Police Steam curator group was originally established by popular YouTuber John “Totalbiscuit” Bain. They care a lot, which is part of why The Framerate Police Steam curator has so many followers. Locked framerates have been associated with many sore points in PC gaming history, and people are fed up. They have been getting the second fiddle treatment from bigger game-makers for years, after all.Īrkham Knight was a worst case scenario, but it demonstrates why framerate issues strike such a resonant chord with PC gamers and - in turn - why a locked framerate might cause some to see red. PC gamers took it pretty personally, as they often do with this sort of thing. It was clear that Warner didn’t give it the time or resources it needed, nor did they focus on making it the best game it could be on PC.

When Arkham Knight first launched, its PC version was hardly even functional, let alone serviceable. One particularly infamous recent example is the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight, which - in addition to a litany of bugs and glitches - came with a framerate arbitrarily locked at 30 FPS.

(On the PS4 and Xbox One, which cannot be customised by users, 60 FPS is rarer but still appreciated.) For some gamers, anything less 60 FPS can feel clunky or even uncomfortable.Īrkham Knight performance video courtesy of RPS. That responsiveness is a big deal for many hardcore gamers, especially on the PC, where games can ship with a variety of technical settings that users can minimise or maximise based on their own system specs. 30 FPS is plenty functional, but, in many cases, not nearly as nice-looking nor responsive.

By and large, 60 is considered to be the gold standard - the point at which a video game becomes, as the cliche goes, as smooth as butter. In short, the higher the framerate, the smoother the game tends to look in motion. “We catalogue games that are locked at 30fps so you can see them at a glance and mention if it is possible to unlock the framerate by other means.”Ī game’s framerate is the frequency at which consecutive frames are displayed, typically measured in per-second intervals (60 FPS, 30 FPS, etc).

Their aim? To list the top possible framerate of any game that’s locked at 30 FPS or less. The Framerate Police group is, with nearly 100,000 followers, the tenth most popular curator on all of Steam. Not all PC games run at 60 frames per second, and for some people, that’s a big problem.
