| FPS Boost doubles the game frame rate |
Microsoft released a new FPS Boost feature for the newer Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S game platforms, designed to improve the way current games work.
While Microsoft previously pledged to provide backward compatibility for the new Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S game platforms to increase frame rates, FPS Boost is designed to improve older games without requiring developers to do extra work.
Some games almost doubled the frame rate, and the software giant said, in some cases, backward compatible games quadrupled the frame rate.
According to the company, the first games to support FPS Boost are Far Cry 4, New Super Lucky Story, Sniper Elite 4, UFC 4, and Watch Dogs 2.
Improvements vary from game to game, especially with Xbox Series S: New Super Lucky's Tale now runs at a 120fps refresh rate, while UFC 4 now runs at a 60fps refresh rate.
