Xbox Series X/S FPS Boost now works on 97 backwards compatible games

Back in February, the Xbox backwards compatible team launched FPS Boost, a method of getting older generation games to run at up to 120 frames per second on Xbox Series X/S consoles without any needed input from the original developers. The feature started off small, supporting just a handful of titles, but this week, Microsoft began ramping up, with 97 games now supported. 

FPS Boost is a forward-thinking feature. Rather than simply running a last-gen game in its original state, features like Auto-HDR and FPS Boost can greatly enhance the experience instead. New titles supporting FPS Boost come from major franchises, including Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Deus Ex and more.

Most of these titles see a double in frame rate, so 30 frames per second titles like Assassin's Creed Unity will now run at 60 frames per second. Meanwhile, titles like Battlefield 4, which ran at 60 frames per second on last-gen consoles, can now run at up to 120 frames per second.

KitGuru Says: When FPS Boost was first announced, I quickly jumped back into Prey on my Xbox Series X to check it out. Hopefully we'll see many more games supporting this feature moving forward.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
