That was the case for a Brazilian YouTuber, who accidentally leaked their review to their channel. While the video was taken down, fans quickly saw the review, scoured through it, and archived all of its information, including what their opinion of the game was, as well as their final score.

The review also brought up the30fps lock on Xbox, which the YouTuber played the game on. The framerate cap caused a lot of controversy for the title, leading to some disappointed fans launchingpetitions to have it changed. Bethesda exec Todd Howard said the reason the game can’t run at 60fps on consoles is because it’d have tosacrifice too much to do so.

Nevertheless, the reviewer said the 30fps was actually quite fluid, and the game does a good job of camouflaging it so it’s barely noticeable.

The YouTuber rounded it off with a final score of 8.5, which might sound low considering the hype surrounding the game, but they apparently have a history of holding Bethesda to very high standards, so fans believe it’s a sign the game is good.

It won’t be long until fans can see what the game is like for themselves, as early access unlocks later today, and the standard release is due out on the 6th of September.
