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.
I can’t remember the last time I played a sub 60 fps game on my series X. Elden Ring dips occasionally, but it’s still solid for the most part.
Even on the Xbox one all the games I was playing were running at 60+. The last game I played with an actually bad framerate was tears of the kingdom, but that is on switch.
Nothing has changed sadly.
