Halo CE to 4 actually can run at 120fps on Series X.
Halo 5 is still 60fps though.
If you mean GTA V, even if the BC team was capable of doubling the framerate; it's unlikely Take Two would approve it since they plan on releasing a next gen version of GTA V that's likely 60fps.
I think you're thinking of how the PS5's GPU has higher clock speeds (though it has less cores). The CPU on Series X is slightly higher clocked than PS5, with the same number of threads (3.6 GHz vs 3.5 GHz). If it *were* CPU bottlenecks on Series X, we'd expect the game on that platform to outperform the game running on PS5, which it doesn't.
Anyways, DF's John Linneman called it 'basically flawless' on PS5.
Depends of the game. Some don't support FPS boost on XSS. For now, most do.
I understand this point of view, but it's been their focus for a while. I believe this is the future though. It doesn't mean graphics will stagnate, but this will be a focus.
Is there a master list somewhere? Or a thread that highlights which?
Thanks
Xbox FPS Boost games list for Xbox Series X & Series S
Microsoft's latest and greatest consoles elevate these classics with FPS Boost.

They're just running the Xbox One S profile of the game in some cases in order to effectively double the framerate.
Oh I get it and it's great with the double frame rate. Just shame they look so ugly, but I get the want from some of the higher frame rate for older games.
the games with dropped settings already have high resolution patches so if that's your cup of tea it's still an option. Obviously having both would be nice, and I especially think they should add that option so that people can take advantage of VRR. When you could trick it into running high res and fps, reports were that it worked well enough
Yeah. Agreed. I want that one to get Heuchy too though, cause the resolution is as big an issue as the performance.
I just replayed through the trilogy and yeah, going from the ugly, low FPS/resolution of TR2013 to Rise + Shadow and their buttery smooth 60fps performance modes was nuts.
FPS Boost has brought my progress on more recent games to an utter standstill. XB1-era games at 60-120fps feel brand new, especially being as optimized as they have been so far. Some of these legitimately are new-to-me, but even titles I played for dozens of hours have a whole new feel. It's probably like 35% novelty, but I still really like it.
Let's see:
Arkham Asylum
Arkham City
Arkham Knight
Red Dead Redemption 2
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition
Gears of War 4
What Remains of Edith Finch
Sunset Overdrive
Outer Wilds
Halo 5
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
DOOM 3
… and if we're diving into BC games:
Red Dead Redemption
Gears 2 & 3
Portal / Portal 2
The Orange Box
Sonic Generations
Splinter Cell games
Kameo
Mirror's Edge
Fable trilogy
Fallout 3
Fallout New Vegas
Arkham Asylum
Arkham City
Arkham Knight
Red Dead Redemption 2
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition
Gears of War 4
What Remains of Edith Finch
Sunset Overdrive
Outer Wilds
Halo 5
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
DOOM 3

This and Auto HDR has caused me to freeze playing or replaying games in my backlog until I get a XSX.
Right now, I only play games on my XB1X that have HDR and are at least 60fps. LOL
RDR2 to 60fps would be such a huge deal. Even if they had to drop the res to 1440 or 1800, I'd be fine with it.
I know what you mean... I've dipped back into some older titles recently like Ryse and Sunset Overdrive but in the back of my mind I'm like... I'm going to feel like an idiot if I beat this game and then the next week it gets an FPS boost.
Had to be me. Somebody else might have gotten it wrong....
.. that said, if you screwed with my genophage cure, to hell with you
If they had to drop the resolution in order to effectively double the framerate, then they would simply use the Xbox One S profile which ran it at a 864p resolution..
I've given it more thought and here's my extended list of Xbox One games I would love to see get 60FPS boosts:
- Assassin's Creed - The Ezio Collection, AC3/4, Rogue, Unity, Syndicate, Origins and Odyssey
- Arkham Asylum/City/Knight
- Bioshock 1 & 2 Remastered + Infinite
- Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
- Dragon Age Inquisition
- Dragon's Dogma
- Far Cry 3 Remastered, FC5 and New Dawn
- Just Cause 3 & 4
- Mad Max
- Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor/War
- Quantum Break
- Sleeping Dogs Remastered
- Watch Dogs 1
- World War Z
- Yakuza 0
And that's about 32 games total, leaving plenty of room for even more if the 50+ rumor is indeed true.
I would bet money RDR2 and GTAV ain't happening, at least on Microsft's end. Rockstar knows they can releases full-priced S/X + PS5 "remasters" of both games with 60FPS modes and they'll sell like gangbusters. MS are likely focusing on games that have little-to-no chance of getting official upgrades/boosts from their respective developers.

FPS boost (and improved FOV), among the many other features Microsoft have introduced and are improving, are my most wanted features, so this is excellent news for me.
Keep it up gang.

The issue with Arkham Asylum and City is they were later patched with a weird framerate cap at 45fps so the BC team doubling the framerate will still have it capped at 90fps. Unfortunately it needs a patch from the studio to fix it and it seems unlikely to happen.
Agreed on GTAV, but I'm not as certain about RDR2.
Forza Horizon 1-3 at 60fps.
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty please!
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty please!
wait, isnt yakuza 0 already a 60fps game?, i played on ps4 in 2018 but i remember it feeling really smooth and playing yakuza 6 shortly after felt kinda rough at the beginning.
yeah it is 60 in-game. I think Kiwami 2 is when it drops to 30
I'm guessing they'll focus on Gamepass games for this drop... it would raise even more the value of the service. Previous drops were all gamepass focused (first 5 games were on GP and EA & Bethesda)... could be this kind of boost is part of the deal for games on GP.
Are you referring to the Xbox 360 or the Xbox One Return to Arkham versions?
I don't think Watch Dogs 2 and Far Cry 4 have been on game pass (Ubisoft titles), but yeah everything else has been on Game Pass iirc
I really hope there's a good selection of backcompat titles from x360 era, namely the ones that have only ever been available on Consoles like Fable 2 or Red Dead Redemption. Would also love to see Halo 5 get the double-frame-rate treatment since for some reason they don't seem like they're planning to bring it to PC
