30 was the standard up to PS3 and X360 at 720p. With the complete rework of the hardware design for PS4 and XOne, both consoles targeted 60 at 720p and encouraged developers to reach this. If the resolution is upped to 1080p, games will more often than not target 30. There are exceptions to this such as Gran Turismo. To this day, in the era of PS5 and X Series, a majority of games still target 30 because it’s easier to do so and they can crank up the graphical quality.
The standard for properly optimized games is 60 FPS and if a game can’t reach this framerate then it’s not properly optimized.
Ah, I thought consoles were still rolling with 30. Haven’t owned one in years.
Nothing has changed sadly.
