Microsoft launched the FPS Boost feature on the Xbox Series X and S in February to bring a new life to backward-compatible Xbox One titles. At the time, only five titles were updated, which gives you a way to play older games with higher frame rates, without mods. Five more Bethesda games are now receiving FPS Boost support: Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Prey, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition and Dishonored: Definitive Edition.
The newly added entries to the list of games with FPS Boost were revealed during the last episode of The Official Xbox Podcast with Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb from Xbox Live and Xbox senior communications manager Jeff Rubenstein. All five are available on the Microsoft Game Pass, making them playable on Xbox and PC. Some like Fallout 4, were added shortly after Bethesda officially became part of the Xbox, following the conclusion of Microsoft’s $ 7.5 billion deal to acquire ZeniMax Media and its video game publishers.
Games that support the feature have their frame rate doubled from 30 to 60FPS, although some can even be played at 120FPS on new consoles. At the moment it is not entirely clear when the games are receiving FPS Boost exactly. How Kotaku Notes, the feature may arrive with the next major update to the Xbox Series X and S, which will add settings to switch in HDR and FPS Boost for each individual game.
