I guess it's time to continue my FromSoft journey then! Been waiting for this sort of update for a long time!
Unique technique
Honestly shocked by this, but this is pretty cool that Microsoft is doing this.
Yeah, probably has to do with the way it's coded. We'll likely get another big batch of games soon i imagine.
FROM down to cooperate on getting their games patched to boost their fps, interesting...
I wonder if this unique technique for DS3 would have worked for Bloodborne too had it been on Xbox.
I think it's because this one leaked earlier and so they might have more to announce a
Maybe they can bring that unique solution to Bloodborne T~T
On topic, ish, hopefully this means more FPS boosts coming up. Congrats to the people playing DS3 now though, definitely a boon at 60 fps

I don't know of any resolution bump games for Xbox One. All the res bumps have been for Xbox and Xbox 360 BC titles. I would imagine a similar solution exists, so it would definitely be welcome, but yeah this is just FPS.
Unique method is insane honestly, but it's exciting that they've figured out a new method and applied it to DS3.
Also great because it brings parity to PS5 with DS3
would be hilarious if bloodborne comes to ps5 (and series x) thanks to the xbox bc team
Moments like this kinda highlight why we need a Resolution boost along with an FPS boost.
Would've been nice to see even just a bump to 1080P.

torn between rebuying the game on Xbox or saving a replay for when I have a PS5 sometime next year.
Only issue is that I'd like to replay before Elden ring lol.

I wrote that as a joke but now I'm wondering the same thing. And MS would be nice enough to give that info to Sony, too. Maybe….we'll who knows.
The 900p is pretty brutal but damn the jump to 60fps is pretty great for Xbox users.

I want to play this but 900p on a 4K screen is just too soft for me liking.
Can we expect more boosted games this month?

I thought the point of this technique was that the developer didn't have to be involved at all. Does MS need some kind of approval?
I wasn't aware Dark Souls 3 was that demanding. How it on PC nowadays? 4k 60 doable on a gaming rig? Or is it better to play on console for 60 frames?
Seems like FPS Boost specifically uses the Xbox One S version of the game for the time being. Have there been any counter examples that used the FPS Boost branding that didn't?
DS3 was already unlocked on PS4 Pro.
Bloodborne is capped at 30fps, when you unlock the framerate to speed of the game also increases because it's tied to it. They changed that for DS3.

It's highly doubtful any of the methods/techniques the BC team have access to can bump resolutions to any resolution. The methods/or techniques they've used thus far are done in multipliers
Yes, it requires publisher approval, but I believe Jason Ronald is referring to how the FPS boosts techniques/methods in this specific example required developers to make a quick change in the code to work.
They probably do need approval in case the publisher is planning an updated/native version.
I imagine most games don't need any additional help, or very little, but in some cases publishers don't want a title FPS Boosted because they have remasters in the works or otherwise, so they check in with them first. They can still work with the developers to get a better understanding of the source code or how things are handled in the pipeline to better address the game to prevent glitches. It's not a simple switch to 60 fps by clicking a button.
