Better than a CD player’s bass boost
Remember “bass boost” in the ’90s, on those little portable CD players? Well, boosting is a bit different now, and can frankly crank up old games to stunning levels. That includes the newDark Souls 360FPS patch.
Yep, as announced by Microsoft,Dark Souls 3has officially joined the boost club, and will now benefit from enhancements on Xbox Series X/S. All you need to do is download the patch for free on a new console and the game will automatically swap to the best mode possible.
So Jason Ronald, director of PM at Xbox, actually has a little more info for us here:
“We heard you! The team is thrilled to bring FPS Boost toDark Souls 3. This required a brand new technique, unique toDark Souls 3, to enable 60 FPS on Xbox Series X|S. Huge thank you to our partners at FROM Software and Bandai Namco for their partnership and support.”
Not only was this a “brand new technique,” which is interesting on its own, but Microsoft confirms that they worked with From Software and Bandai Namco to makeDark Souls 360FPS happen specifically. It’s the sort of thing that Microsoft is becoming known for this generation, on top of the rise of Xbox Game Pass and a commitment to backward compatibility as a whole.
Seeing Microsoft work with a Japanese developer and publisher like this bodes very well for the future of the Xbox brand. While they’ve stumbled a bit in the past, moves like this can only spell good news for Xbox owners.
