Can we get 60fps performance mode in every game going forward?

Neil: "60fps is going against the cinematic masterpiece I am making...ND next game will be rendered in 24fps"
I'm playing in Fidelity mode because I don't want to get really used to 60 only for fewer and fewer games to support it as time goes on. Plus I don't mind 30 at all, but I don't play fighters or twitch shooters/racers.
Really hope the option stays available for those who prefer it though.

The Last of Us Remastered Devs Discuss Making 60fps the New Standard in Games
We try out the Last of Us Remastered edition and talk with the developers about what makes this version of the game different (besides just the graphics).

It's funny to look back on their quotes when they were selling a remaster now that we know how the gen played out.
Though they did legit try to get UC4 to 60 (that debut trailer is still impressive because of it). Hopefully this is the gen where it can happen.
PS5 has a setting in the system options that allows you to set your preference of performance or quality mode, so I think we can safely assume that all Sony-published games will have it, and it is likely other publishers will implement it as well. It didn't make sense on last gen due to weak CPUs, now it's actually possible and I believe it will become a standard, though 30FPS will likely still be the priority, so I expect many games will not be reaching locked 60 in performance mode.
Been saying that for a long time now. It's the best compromise. Offering a performance mode insures no game will be CPU bound and devs can utilize the GPU cranking up the graphics quality and res at 30fps or lowering the graphics and res for the 60fps mode. And if we do get mid-gen refreshes it means we quite possibly will get a merge of the 2 modes.
The ideal would be that it shifts to 60 FPS fidelity modes and 90/120 FPS performance modes.
But I would be content if every single game at least includes a 60 FPS mode from now on.
Do you not see the difference between 30 and 60 FPS though?
You're not the only person here with posts that suggest the only benefit to higher frame rates is lower latency.
For me it is primarily a visual thing. 60 FPS and above looks dramatically better than 30 FPS. It's so much smoother and clearer in motion.
Can we really say that for sure when the Switch version was a rushed port of a Wii U game?
PC gaming is a very different experience to console gaming, that not everyone wants.
And Sony consoles in particular often have exclusive games you cannot play on PC.
If the inclusion of 60 FPS performance modes becomes standard, that starts to make console gaming more viable for me again, after two generations where I couldn't play the majority of games due to motion sickness caused by the low frame rates.
I'd still prefer that the games were not exclusive to one set of hardware, so we are not reliant on developers revisiting their games to update them once faster hardware is released; e.g. Bloodborne not receiving a PS4 Pro or PS5 patch and being stuck at 1080p30 forever. But this is a start.
That would be great. I don't play on consoles but a 60 fps target for every game would avoid situations like Watch Dogs where it is hard to get a locked 60 even on high-end hardware.
Playing Demons Souls and Genshin last night in 60fps glory really makes me hopeful that more and more games will either be 60fps or have performance options that allow you to reach it.
We will get more 60FPS games this gen, but it won't be universal. The reason we'll get more 60FPS games is that the power of these consoles will make it easier to hit that target for games of a certain size, scope, and budget. But there will always be studios that will want to push fidelity beyond performance, and 30FPS will return. But games of mid-range scope and budget with graphical targets more like last gen should be able to hit 60.

Frames >>>>> Resolution.
Always has been, always will be. Once you play in 60+ it's so hard to go back.

I rarely replay games but I might for that 60 goodness in Ghost and Days Gone...I agree OP ;)

For those of us playing at 1080p I wish we can get the option of getting the best of both worlds.
60fps really should've just been the standard and the random dev that wanted to make a 30fps graphical masterpiece (that doesn't even really look that much better in the grand scheme of things) is the odd one out. But this is a compromise I'll take if we get more high-framerate games.
The PS5 and XSX GPUs are only 60fps capable in the short term, as far as AAA gaming is concerned.
Without mid-cycle refreshes, the hopes for an entire generation of carte blanche Performance modes will be violently dashed on the rocks of disappointing reality.

When I see the difference I actively dislike it. It just looks like bad motion smoothing and dejudder processing on tvs when I notice it. Overwatch was a game I consistently was bothered by the way 60FPS looked. I can't stand high framerate video either.
This does not gel with the reality of the PS4/Xbox One generation, where we were stuck with 30fps from day one.
I'm already not buying anymore games that don't offer a 60fps mode. I'm done living in the past.
That would be great.
About that, other than The Medium and Watch Dogs: Legion, which games do not have a performance mode?

We also had a massive CPU bottleneck as an anchor from day one.
The smooth taste of this cross-gen period is real nice. We haven't even seen true next-gen games yet.
Ha, what? 60fps looks fine to me and 120fps is even better. 30fps is a slideshow in comparison to them and it's why I avoid it whenever I play games on PC, plus I can't imagine playing a competitive multiplayer game like shooters at 30fps compared to 60fps and 120fps on PC.
I prefer RT with 60fps personally for any game that would allow it.
It could be but visuals would be sacrificed to achieve that, and as long as it looks fine that's more than enough.
120fps for multiplayer in shooters should be mandatory at this point.
Exactly, plus anything that's really fast paced definitely would be better with a good/higher framerate. I'm trying to avoid 30fps as much as possible for this new gen.
TBH they should all have it with a minimum of 1080p and 60fps. There really shouldn't be any excuses unless they somehow push visuals and the system to their limits at 1080p and 60fps.
With VRR and new consoles "boosting" older games, I think every game should have the option to run with unlocked framerates, even without a different graphics setting
While I feel that way I still think there are games that will be only 30fps so I would either get it on PC or forced to deal with it if it's an exclusive.
It's the good shit.
I love the way Spider-Man: Miles Morales' ray-tracing looks.
I'm never gonna actually play the game that way, though. The 60fps mode looks better in motion and feels better to play, of course.

I will honestly hesitate to buy any game that doesn't offer a locked 60 fps mode at this point.
This is the one thing I want this gen. I only have a 1080 TV so if 4k has to be sacrificed for 60fps then DO IT!
Seriously, I think I might be the same. I am playing Gears 5 at 60 and went and tried Gears 4 on the SX - it was awful.
Not just 60fps, but 60fps with raytracing. Don't force raytracing only on fidelity modes, give users the options to have 1080p60 with raytracing. Let the TV upscale 1080p to 4k if need be.
