There has been some controversy regarding Redfall's always-online DRM and the fact that the game will be released with only a 30fps "Quality mode" on Xbox Series X|S. However, the title's release hasn't been affected by it.
Players who pre-purchased Redfall can also start pre-loading the game on PC and Xbox to have it ready to be played as soon as it releases in their region.
Coming from the same studio that created Prey, which is considered by many to be the pinnacle of modern immersive simulation games, Redfall has very big shoes to fill. It remains to be seen whether the game will deliver when it arrives on May 2, 2023, for Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC.
