Xbox: Making Backward Compatible Games Even Better with FPS Boost - DigitalFoundry tests including Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 4 etc
- Thread starter TameLucas
- Start date
This is great, hope they continue to expand the double frame-rate library.
Far Cry 5 would have been a better candidate. I don't want to play any of these games.

Too bad the first batch only contains Xbox One games, as I'm excited to see what some original Xbox / Xbox360 would look like with those enhancements. But this is very promising.
Xbox is already my favorite place to play backwards compatible games, so I hope they also start joining Game Pass a bit more often.

This is so crazy that they're not going in and changing any of the game's code and, as far as the game is concerned, it's still running at 30fps.
To take a game like Far Cry 4 from 2014 and double it's framerate without devs having to go in and unlock it or do anything.
Really magic.

Isnt this updates only for One Games? I thought they said this at the first reveal last year
I hope we do, it's a good initiative and I'm excited to see what's next.

Theorry got beat..... Wtf

It runs at an unlocked framerate up to 60 fps so it shouldn't need anything done to it. The new consoles can brute force it to 60 fps.
It released a year before the X so it did not get patched.
It isn't on XBOX consoles
You were saving this tweet to make a zinger that is completely wrong. Well done.
Finally a new generation where frame rates seem to be in the headlines a lot more than ever before.
Exactly. Why can't people just come into topics and be excited without all the bait?

Lol. To be fair i waited. But nobody was making it so i made it. But then was later becaused i added the extra stuff from DF
They say in the DF video that they were told that this could come to OG Xbox and 360 titles. In theory.
Considering no code change, we will see, might start small but become really big.
Megaton! It kinda sucks that for the moment, they aren't adding games to the BC list anymore. But how to you make up for that? Oh, yeah... make the games that are available even better. Round of applause for you, Xbox BC team.
I'm not here to complain, because I do think this technology is amazing:
However, Watch Dogs 2 is also stuck at 900p on Xbox One, because the game was never updated for One X. It seems like a funny choice to start with, where it can now run super smoothly but in a pretty blurry resolution.

Now UBI could give Legion a performance mode update without raytracing on to compete with WatchDogs 2 framerate....
This is awesome, obviously limited in scope right now but they always start small
Pss, Xbox team, now let's work on Resolution Boost!
This is the future MGSV deserved.

Maybe I don't understand, but isn't Sony also doing this? Like with the God of War patch? Granted, I don't know of any PS5 patches that boost to 120fps.
Is it different in that PS5 requires specific patches where this just requires a flag to trigger FPS mode?
Sorry, not trying to take away from MS, just trying to understand the difference.
