This might come as a disappointment for some fans, especially sinceDigimon Story: Time Strangerlooks like it would be visually impressive to see in 60 FPS. However, it should be pointed out that just the previous entries in the seriesDigimon Story: Time Strangeris a turn-based RPGthat often has players simply selecting attacks in menus and navigating simplified environments. As such, the developers might not have deemed it necessary forDigimon Story: Time Strangerto run at 60 FPS on consoles.
