97 games now support FPS Boost on Xbox

That and the trilogy. They'd be perfect. I'd love if Spyro got an update as well, but gat has bad frame pacing issues which could be a problem.
And also can have some tied to framerate logic problems like in PC version.
I believe this isn't an issue with FPS boost. It's my understanding that the game still runs at its original FPS internally so hard coded things shouldn't have issues. I hope they use this to boost some games that have frame rate issues on PC.
Unfortunately no, the games think they're running at their original framerates but the results are the same as a PC version.
This is the reason all the games that have FPS boost so far also have PC versions. The original devs made sure the games didn't have significant issues at higher framerates. For games that targeted consoles at 30fps, there will probably be a lot of bugs at 60fps.
Fingers crossed that some console only games do get an upgrade, but I want to keep my expectations in check.
Amazing looking but not very stable. Interesting to see ; should be perfect with VRR.
Would be nice if was a list of titles that received the boost and whether said boost altered fidelity in any way.
Just sort the list by the "Off by Default" column:

As far as I can tell from my limited time with this game after the fps boost, it drops in the hub and open foliage areas.
Depends on your taste. I personally enjoyed it but couple things to note:
- It's essentially a platformer with sort of pattern matching combat and lots of collectibles/upgrades. A little bit Metroid Prime, a little bit Crackdown... idk. Honestly wouldn't be out of place in the PS2 gen - I don't mean that in a bad way, just that that's the kind of game it is. If chaining a jump, boost dash, and grapple to get to the last collectible on top of that really high platform sounds fun, then you'll probably like it.
- Do not read reviews from release (2016). The definitive edition was released a year later as a free upgrade and basically finished/fixed the game. Also the added dungeons/areas are somewhat more advanced than the original content and kind of show the missed potential.
I had a lot of fun but I don't have any problem enjoying those types of games. If you're looking for a great plot and fantastic combat, probably best to skip.

Thank you, however, just to seek clarification- is it safe to assume that the titles that do not have the boost on by default are the ones that will suffer drop in IQ (resolution, LoD, texture quality et al) if the boost mode is activated?
If it is off by default then there will be a degradation in visual quality if it is enabled. If there's a checkmark in that column then you are going to loose the Xbox One X enhancements when using FPS Boost.
Either my eyes were deceiving me last night or Deus Ex MD looks rather clean for a 900p title:
Series S and X. Do keep in mind that a select few games are not supported on the S.
How stealth-y is this game? I'm into RPG and sci-fi but not stealth. Can you play Deus Ex like Fallout/Cyberpunk or would you be in for a bad time?
You can go guns blazing. But its easier to sneak.
This is definitely great. I hope Xbox keeps bringing more FPS Boost.
Does this feature still implement 16x anisotropic filtering?
Does this feature still implement 16x anisotropic filtering?
So, does performance mode now can run up to 120 ?
Can anyone test it ?
If the trick just doubles the frame rate it should, if it just forces it to run with 16 ms frametime instead of 33 it should not.
I know Jason Ronald said in some cases it may be turned off in order to effectively double the framerate.
Yeah. Human Revolution was the same way. I think it fits the visual style.
This is going to make make double dip many games during sales! This is a great support for current customers and great for preservation.
Looks great. Just picked up the deluxe edition for £6.99 on CDKeys, seems like a bargain!
The version I bought has the season pass, but the season pass is on sale at the moment on the Xbox store digitally for £2.39.
It has a lot of flexibility in playstyle. Stealth will make it slightly easier for you especially if you invest points in hacking and cloaking, but the game doesn't demand you sneak around like Sam FIsher. Plus, you can save scum and learn from your mistakes which is a good way to learn patrol patterns and such.
I highly recommend you try it. It was a severely underappreciated game on release. Both Mankind Divided and Human Revolution are fantastic games.
You can choose your own style, stealth, combat or both. The very first mission prompts the player to select stealth or combat, this in return effects your inventory.
I had no idea, completed it around launch on the base PS4.
That's a bargain, I really like this game. I've got two copies on PS4 and one on Xbox. Also bought the season pass the other night, can't go wrong with £2.39.
I've had this reaction to a handful of these games, sort of surprised at how crisp they come across. I don't know if it was just a case of people talking about resolution numbers rather than actual IQ at the time they came out (and absorbing that second-hand), or if there's added benefit to games using TAA at higher framerates that I hadn't "connected the dots" about. I dunno, either way, most of these games are looking nice.
I think it's a combination of good AA and 60fps. MD in motion just looks better than its 30fps counterpart.
It never got one unfortunately. But it did have a Pro upgrade as it came out around the same time.
Yeah same as Dark Souls 3. This feature is quite amazing for those games which never got a patch for the One X.
By the way... c'mon MS, I really want DS3 😅
Like Mass Effect: Andromeda, Deus Ex had a marketing deal with Sony. So both got Pro patches, but nothing ever made it to the One X. They also underperformed, so my guess is it wasn't worth the money to patch them. Deus Ex did get HDR on Xbox tho. So.. that's something, I guess.
Mass Effect: Andromeda got a patch one One X and runs at 1800p if I recall correctly.
And I don't think it had anything to do with marketing; moreso that both titles came out way before the One X came out.
Mass Effect: Andromeda eventually received a X enhancement patch.
Andromeda is definitely 1X enhanced, though I think that was a post-launch update. Games that had Pro support but not 1X support were pretty much universally just a factor of when they released (or how far they were in development relative to the 1X launch), not terms of any marketing deals.
Good times for Mass Effect fans, still bad times for Deus Ex fans.
