Xbox has added a grand total of 13 additional games to the list of titles that support FPS Boost on Xbox Series X|S. Many of the new games support up to 120 fps now, and are all included through EA Play and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Yup if you actually click into the article the title is really, "13 new EA titles on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate now support Xbox Series X|S FPS Boost up to 120fps"
They are all EA games and other than a couple of them the servers are empty but if your gonna run a rental service you gotta pretend like you care and keep these games going. Sounds like some good will but really a crappy game on day one like Say Titanfall is still a crappy game at 120fps 7yrs later but the crap runs smoother. Anyone remember when Microsoft was hyping Titanfall as the Call of Duty killer? Lol ....then the second it released it died never to be heard from again.... Until today!
That is awesome, a few weeks ago I upgrade my monitor and let me tell you, 120fps is amazing.
CoD , Ori 2 and DMC 5 is fantastic, super buttery.
@SpinSaw You really that bitter about games? how could you spin this into a negative? You need a girlfriend/boyfriend/dog/cat, something to help sort out that negative energy.
So you think anyone down voting you is a sony fanboy? You do know there are nintendo and pc gamers too (and pc gamers seem to care a lot more about these technical things)
People have a valid right/reason to disagree with any opinion
Ok then so why is it that when it's a PS article and people get downvoted they immediately blame Xbox fans and i bet that you don't say anything like you have here
I didn't say that was right did I? I basically said people shouldn't care about agrees or disagrees and give their opinion without becoming fanboys
But in today's world anyone who gets any push back gets labelled that's why we can't get nothing done properly. On this site especially I see this where someone will comment and say my comment will get disagrees because of PlayStation or xbox fanboys. Why care so much about agree/disagree. I do miss the bubble system in this site because we had the open zone for fanboys and mature conversation could be had elsewhere
Really hope Sony can do something similar, at least to 60fps. Don't have a TV that support 120fps, nor do most people, so that's not a huge deal just yet but it's definitely nice.
I have held off on playing a few playstation games until this happens. Mainly, bloodbourne, and the last guardian. Hopefully this is something that happens soon.
I assume Sony's lower level API makes system level tweaks like this much harder to achieve. That's one of the advantages of working on a higher abstraction level. The tradeoff is that a high level API won't give you access to the same degree of hardware utilization of any given system. Basically the same thing that makes some Playstation titles so impressive, might stand in the way of features like this.
The only one on that list which is a decent addition is sea of solitude it's now 60fps. The rest of them were already 60fps titles so it's not impressive that they are boosted to 120 as ppl without 120htz TV won't benifit
Games that we need are like Dishonoured 2 excellent 4k visuals but 30fps look, if titles like that are boosted to 60fps then it's like a free remaster in a way
@djstooty The price may go done but remember it was replaced the new Neo series. Stock maybe limited. After I bought mine they were out of stock a month later. Also check Samsung's site directly they had the best price I can find, free shipping and 0% interest for upto 4 years . Also you get a discount based on your job. I got an extra $300 off.
It's the perfect fit for older titles too. As we transition out of the cross-gen period 120 fps modes will probably become increasingly rare due to the increased complexity of 'new gen' games. Last gen games on the other hand aren't nearly as demanding so getting them up to 120 fps is a great way of offering some options for people that have a 120Hz panel.
Higher FPS is a game changer. They are offering this FPS boost to titles from many publishers at this point, hopefully more publishers give Microsoft the go ahead to offer FPS boost to their games as well. Ubisoft, and Rockstar would be fantastic additions.
My comment is mainly speaking about going 30 to 60. Anything else is just a bonus.
To speak on resolution, I am firmly in the camp that I will take FPS over resolution.
I recently played God of War, prior to the 4k update, and I honestly could not tell the difference while playing. The game still is one of the most visually amazing games I have played in recent times, and I was playing at 1080p on my LG CX.
@Zeref For something to be a gamechanger it has to make a difference when you are buying an new console. I doubt that most people who buy PS consoles would say, "Hey, if I drop the highly rated exclusives, and buy an XB my old games get 120 fps so that is a good decision". Or Nintendo people saying, "Hey if I lose the portability of my console and Zelda/Mario games, I get 120 fps with XB so that is a good decision".
I will agree this is a loyalty feature for XB owners. But, by no means is this a game changer.
I can’t tel the difference from 60 to 120 FPS . I don’t play shooters competitively maybe it would mean something then but it really makes no difference to me if it’s 60 or 120
You clearly haven't played 120fps games. Playing a game at 120fps and then going back to 60fps literally makes you feel like theres something wrong with the game.
That’s good with me.1080p/120hz is my sweet spot. I game on a high refresh rate 1080p monitor. But I totally understand the frustration if I gamed on a 4k 120hz oled.
Ah that's good, I'm on an lg cx oled so yeah the textures are a bit blurry, 1080p/ 1440p high refresh rate monitors are the sweet spot for this for sure.
I have a 165hrz IPS 1440P HDR 10 monitor it makes my 1080P 144hrz monitor look like standard definition when it comes to color, brightness, sharpness and detail the 1080P monitor just looks bad in comparison.
Dang! That’s awesome! Wish I had a series x to play BFV. Been playing it on PS5 which runs smooth but a doubling of the refresh rate would be glorious! Hope Sony can off something like this in the future.
Titanfall 2 its already very fluid at 60fps!Im not trading the [email protected] for [email protected] especially when playing Campain SP. Actually i Will not trade the native resolution of those games at 60fps for a lower One at 120fps.Its not just the resolution that suffers watch the other games that support 120fps now and see that settings for textures,effects...are all lower now .120fps its ONLY good for MP competitive matchs since the quality of the image unfortunaly gets worst to achieave 120fps.
It is not a Gamepass exclusive thing, it simply is an Xbox thing (the BC team at Microsoft is able to go in on a game and update it without the need of any developer input).
In other words, the PS5 will not be having this because it is not a patch.
True, we see that every single week Worldwide. You got another news on top that shows that. That show the reality of videogaming. i think The Series s/x sold 415k in one week., The switch 200 and the PS5 wasnt even able to sell 100k consoles Worldwide.. Gamer are really, really pumped with that and its shredding Sony. Its realy boosting forward.
dang, boosted to 120fps now?
This came out of nowhere... and damn, 120hz - their backwards compatibility work is really technically impressive.
Very cool!
Really hope Sony can do something similar, at least to 60fps. Don't have a TV that support 120fps, nor do most people, so that's not a huge deal just yet but it's definitely nice.
At least give us Horizon 60fps, Sony.
