Dark Souls 3 never got a patch for Xbox One X. It stills 900p@30FPS on any Xbox console.

PS4 Pro got an unlocked mode, where it ran at 1080p@60FPS.

So cool. Love what Xbox is doing. Still not convinced to go Xbox but this certainly makes it very compelling.

 

[KormaChameleon]

Awesome if true. Xbox has the best eco-system. Imagine if this was Sony.

 

[skit_data]

Will it still be 900p though?

 

[skneogaf]

What fps is dark souls 3 on consoles?

30 I think but not sure

In this specific case 1080p 60fps DS3 has been available since day one on PS5

 

[elliot5]

I honestly don't expect this to happen, but it'd be pretty funny to see a 120 FPS boost on DS3. I may be wrong, but I think Jason Ronald said their method of FPS Boosting doesn't impact things like physics calculations, but maybe it depends on how coupled the game's systems are with framerate. I'm only expecting 60 FPS for DS3 though.

I hope there's some resolution boost special sauce because 900p is yucky even with 60 fps..

[WoodyStare]

More than likely.

 

[rofif]

isn't it 1080p 60 on ps5 because it was unlocked on ps4?
Wasn't it the same on xbox ?

 

[j0hnnix]

Damn. I have all my soulsborne games on playstation. This is super nice if true.

*Read PS5 might have it unlocked already.. going to find out.

 

[elliot5]

In this specific case 1800p 60fps DS3 has been available since day one on PS5

right, because DS3 never got a 1X enhanced patch, but PS4 Pro had the unlocked framerate patch. unlucky.

 

[chaseroni]

Nah, its only 1080p 60 through the PS4 Pro patch

 

[Plantoid]

There goes 40ish more hours.

Sia lode al sole.

1800 or 1080?

 

[skit_data]

1800 or 1080?

Typo, it’s 1080p

 

[TLZ]

If they're forcing a fps unlock it'll drop the resolution further, like the other games that do this.

Nope, it either runs One S or One X code and this never got a One X patch.

Not all games do it, given it didn't get a one x patch, I think it will be fine.

that's not even true for all fps boost titles, but especially not true here because there's only the One S version on Xbox. Nothing to "fall back" to like some other games

I really hope they don’t for Xbox players sake, lower than 900p is starting to get too low IMO.

I only use a 1080p TV for my PS5, but going down to something like 720p or lower would be too low even for me.

 

[Elbow Identity Shallow]

Didn't they unlock the Xbos One X version of the game? They did for the Pro so it ran 1080p at around 50/55 fps. It's nice smooth 1080/60 on PS5 though, it must be one of those games that got a Pro upgrade but not a One X upgrade due to it being released a couple of months later, I know there was a few that missed out simply due to the release dates of the two consoles.

Are you sure about this? How will they force double the frame rate without dropping res, since there's no One X version?

 

[Riky]

Because both Series consoles are more than twice as powerful as Xbox One.

 

[M1chl]

How about more of FPS boost games? 30 FPS is more or less unplayable for me...

 

[Rob_27]

Wasn't there a rumour of res boost as well at some stage? I think that would help.

 

[kretos]

mamma mia

 

[Elbow Identity Shallow]

Perhaps more importantly than the frame rate to people, running the game on PS5 also sorts out the awful frame time inconsistancies that these games always seem to have.

From Software doesn’t support their games that long from my experience, DS3 came the same year as PS4 Pro but the One X came almost 1,5 years after DS3s release.

 

[Punished Miku]

I have it on PS4.

I guess I'm curious what it even runs at on PS5 currently. Might have to pick it up on sale on X at some point.

Honestly, the Xbox BC is just fantastic. Everything carries over from previous purchases for free from all gens, and most of it runs significantly better. Zero additional cost.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Hasnt this been unlock framerates since Xbox series X and PS5?
I was playing DS3 60fps on PS5 on launch…

 

[skit_data]

PS4 Pro got an unlocked mode, where it ran at 1080p@60FPS.

Might be worth noting that it didn’t quite hit 60fps on PS4 Pro. It was wavering between 45-55 from what I can read.

On PS5 it’s rock solid 60fps.

Only PlayStation got an unlocked mode, on Xbox it’s still 900p 30fps

 

[anthony2690]

120fps please, but safe bet would be 60fps.

 

[Punished Miku]

On PS5 it’s rock solid 60fps.

I'm good then. Still nice for Xbox owners that its updated though I guess.

 

[Roberts]

Good. I hope DS3 isn’t the only one to get the boost. Hoping to play Vampyr in 60fps.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Please let this be real.

 

[Kilau]

Are you sure about this? How will they force double the frame rate without dropping res, since there's no One X version?

In some instances, because there are higher graphics requirements to enable FPS Boost technology, we’ve had to reduce a game’s resolution to ensure it both runs smoothly and plays great. In those select cases, FPS Boost is not automatically enabled for Xbox Series X gamers, but can easily be turned on under the Compatibility Options in the Manage game and add-ons setting.

List shows what is off by default.

 

[Riky]

Expecting 60fps but maybe Series X can do 120fps like Mad Max etc, would be nice.

 

[tommib]

Awesome if true. Xbox has the best eco-system. Imagine if this was Sony.

Welcome to the club. We’ve been playing DS3 at 60 FPS on pS5 since day one. You’re only 6 months late. Better late than ever.

Go see a therapist. This is some next level insecurity.

 

[Riky]

Since the technique works on an engine by engine basis maybe the other games will be getting a boost also.

 

[Mr Moose]

There's only one version of the game, it'll stay 900p.

 

[skit_data]

The original quote implied the PS5 wouldn’t run it at 60fps. It does and have been doing it since launch. Nothing wrong at pointing that out in light of the original comment.

This forum will melt down.

I kinda see his point though. At least MS isn’t putting next gen upgrades behind paywalls like Spider-Man remastered or GoT’s PS5 features (like rumble) exclusive to the DC

 

[Codes 208]

This forum will melt down.

More like the issue would be deflected and we would see a thread or two about “why doesn’t Nintendo catch flak for ___?”
