Before launch, Xbox Series S owners were guaranteed that Sonic Frontiers would run at 60fps, although they discovered upon launch that the game runs at 30fps with no performance mode options to be seen. This problem has affected a fairly large number of Series S owners, who have been voicing their complaints on social media sites such as Twitter and Reddit. Most of them say the same thing - that they're disappointed about the game running at 30fps and were unable to find a performance mode. Thankfully, there is a solution, and it might just be a case of going into your Xbox Series S settings and switching some things around.

TheGamer reached out to Sega for comment regarding Sonic Frontiers' performance issues on Series S, and it explained that players can go into their console's settings to improve the game's quality. If your TV allows a 4K UHD display, then this may be the reason Sonic Frontier's is running at 30fps. All you need to do is go into your settings and find the TV & Display Options, find the 1080p option and switch it on. Sega states that doing this should allow Sonic Frontiers to hit 60fps on Series S consoles.
Oh Sonic Team, what are you doing.
S doesn't even have an option to change performance, which I supposed makes sense given that 1080p 60fps is only really needed as an option for the X, but the fact Sega markets the game 60fps and it runs at 30fps and people are complaining about it in multiple places, doesn't help the games word of mouth.
