60FPS on PS5: Unofficial PS5 'FPS Boost' mods are radically improving PS4 back compat

Digital Foundry : Whether it's via FPS Boost or bespoke software upgrades, backwards compatibility on the current-gen consoles delivered an unexpected delight - the ability to liberate older console games from their 30fps limits, running them at 60 frames per second or even higher. FPS Boost did the business for Xbox Series consoles on an impressive range of titles, but there was always the sense that PS5 could do more. It's a hunch that checks out as a range of frame-rate unlocks are available for PS5, covering many must-have games - the major caveat being that only exploitable consoles running on older firmwares are invited to the party.

you love to see new life being breathed into older titles but damn the process to get there. It should be automatic that these work for everyone... not just those who exploit their systems. Really wish Sony and MS would keep this program going officially.

Psychonaut85470d ago

Damn this sucks. I want this shit so bad, but I’m not jailbreaking my console. And frankly I shouldn’t have to. I’m not a tech person, but is it really that hard for developers to unlock the framerate? Or would that have to be a large patch?

dveio470d ago (Edited 470d ago )

"but is it really that hard for developers to unlock the framerate?"

I guess it's not.

But it has become a profitable business if you do so.

So no one would pay for only the framerate patched to being unlocked. So studios need to offer more than that.

But this would take more time, polishing and would cost more money. So they shy away, but won't unlock the framerate, either.

That's just my personal assumption. But from what I can comprehend technically, it shouldn't be difficult to unlock framerates via a patch for older games.

... if it hadn't became a business.

RaidenBlack470d ago (Edited 470d ago )

frame-rate unlock should be free ...
We've seen many devs offer free patches and updates to pretty old PC titles, even bonuses ... so why can't devs offer the frame unlock patch for free (in consultation with the platform-producers) for a title from just a generation earlier?

"frame-rate unlock should be free ..."

Obviously the result of that thinking is that developers aren't even going to do it.

If they had been allowed to charge $5-10 you would see incentivized developers doing it way more often.

People just always want everything for free, but it's not free to make the patch, people have to code it then other people have to test it, and there will always be other costs involved.

If people want dollar store gaming then expect to get what you pay for.

shinoff2183469d ago (Edited 469d ago )

Raiden I might be wrong but last I thought it cost money to put patches out on consoles.

As far as me paying for it, I'm not all that interested tbh. Not enough to pay for it with older games, and newer games have been pretty decent about it for the most part.

dumahim470d ago

Sounds like the modder has to go in to make changes to unlock it on a game by game basis. "Simple" enough to do it unofficially, but to have it done officially, they need someone to go in a make that change, put out a patch and put it through certification, which I believe is not necessarily a cheap thing to do. It's questionable if going through this would then give them enough sales to make it worthwhile.

Inverno470d ago

Many games still have physics tied to framerate, i think it's cause they wouldn't want to go in and do anything extra. Then there's the 10 dollar upgrades they rather charge. The problem is that there's no compromise, cause if I could mod my PS4 and all I'd lose is online play then id jailbreak it immediately. Mods have done so much for PC games and they could do the same for consoles, but manufacturers hafto be willing to compromise.

shinoff2183469d ago

It's not to hard to do and there's youtube videos that break it down really well. ANyway most of us here arent able to break are console anyway due to being up to date on firmware from playing

Chocoburger470d ago

Yep, this sucks having to require a jailbreak for something that should be standard in our industry by now. I learned my lesson when PS4 was jailbroken and I didn't keep a console on low firmware for years, but now I'm holding onto two low firmware PS5s specifically because there are features I'll be able to do that you can't do on official firmware, so this will pay off for me soon enough.

Jin_Sakai470d ago

It should be a sin to let these games sit and be stuck at 30fps.

EazyC470d ago

RDR 2 not getting a 60FPS patch for PS5 was a crime.

I would have included the Uncharted games as well. Good list though.

Yui_Suzumiya2d ago

Island would be #1 but that would be anything from Frontwing.

QueenOfFrowns2d ago

Haha it is not lost on me that two of the games in the top four were already novels before they were games

fuckz those are insane numbers

Gamingsince198164d ago

I wonder if they count all the free copies everyone got from the epic store 🤔

gold_drake64d ago

i doubt that, it says sold and not given away fro free ha.

Gamingsince198164d ago (Edited 64d ago )

I have to wonder where all the people are then, because there are def not 200 million playing online, not even close. It's not a dig at the game (besides the fact they abandoned everyone that doesn't play online) I have been enjoying gta since the first gta on playstation.

gold_drake64d ago

gta 5 has been out for

ps3, xbox360, ps4,xbox one, pc, ps5 (ps5 version)

Giga_Gaia78d ago

Cacabunga78d ago

DodoDojo78d ago

And that is why GTA6 doesn't need to be priced at $100.

vTuro2478d ago

It's honestly insane how massive GTA has become.

jznrpg78d ago

Sadly I own it for PS3/4/5 even though I’ve never played it. I did get them for super cheap though and still unopened.

Such a great game, loved the story and characters. It just sucks there was some annoying real slow mechanics and such that made it an inch from perfect for me.
