If you’ve wanted to play older games that struggled to maintain a fast or stable frame rate, then MS’s FPS Boost program either has, or will have you covered in that regard over the course of time. Leveraging the power of their new Series line of consoles it must be noted that the Series X gains the best enhancements as one would expect from MS’s premium machine.
Depending on the game and the requirements needed to enable FPS Boost mode, games will either run at 60fps or 120fps. Originally unveiled in February of this year, MS’s backwards compatibility team has made major strides in bringing the full list of games utilising the feature to a whopping 97 with an expected continuous growth in titles moving forward.
MS has noted that some games will require a drop in resolution for FPS Boost mode to be enabled and as such, for these titles, FPS Boost and Auto HDR will not be enabled by default. MS also noted that many of these games are available on Xbox Game Pass and EA Play, which is part of the Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
