Microsoft launched the FPS Boost feature on the Xbox Series X and S in February to breathe new life into backwards compatible Xbox One titles. At the time, only five titles got the upgrade, giving you the way to play the older games at higher frame rates without mods. Five more Bethesda games now get support for FPS: 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 released during the latest installment of The Official Xbox Podcast with Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb of Xbox Live and Jeff Rubenstein, senior communications manager of Xbox. All five are available on Microsoft Game Pass, making it playable on both Xbox and PC. Some, like Outcome 4, was added shortly after Bethesda officially became part of Xbox following the completion of Microsoft’s $ 7.5 billion deal to acquire ZeniMax Media and its video game publishers.
Games that support the feature double their frames from 30 to 60FPS, though some can even be played at 120FPS on the new consoles. At the moment, it is not yet entirely clear when the FPS will get Boost exactly. As Kotaku comments, the feature could come up with the next major Xbox Series X and S update, which will add settings to enable HDR and FPS Boost for each individual game.
