70 more games get FPS Boost on Xbox Series X|S today

Microsoft has today added support for FPS Boost across a whopping 70 games, bringing the total number of Xbox One titles that can receive doubled frame rates on Xbox Series X|S consoles to 97.

There’s an impressive array of titles that can now run with doubled frame rates, either bumping the game up from 30FPS to 60FPS, or from 60FPS to 120FPS. When so many big budget games on the last generation were restricted to 30FPS gaming, it can dramatically increase the fluidity of the experience.

Highlights include Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Alien Isolation, Dying Light, Far Cry 5, and a whole host of LEGO games all now having the option to run at 60Hz. It will even help with more chilled out slice of life and management games like My Time at Portia and Two Point Hospital.

However, there are also a number of titles with the caveat of being turned off by default. It’s not clear what the specific reason is per game, but from analysis of previous FPS Boost titles, it is often that these games would drop down to the Xbox One S game resolution in order to hit the frame rate target – running the unoptimised code on the newer hardware means that trying to push the Xbox One X enhancements at the same time isn’t possible. That’s the case for games like Homefront: The Revolution, Anthem, Far Cry 5 and Far Cry New Dawn.

You can manage where FPS Boost is enabled on a game-by-game basis. You can find this under Compatibility Options in the Manage Game and Add-Ons settings for the game.

Here’s the full list of 97 FPS boost games.
