Microsoft gives Battlefield and Battlefront games FPS Boost on Xbox Series X|S
Microsoft has provided thirteen games from Electronic Arts with FPS Boost. Players can run Battlefield, Battlefront and Titanfall games on at least the Xbox Series X at 120Hz. With some games, this is also possible on the Xbox Series S.
Microsoft has expanded the list of games that support FPS Boost and Microsoft’s Larry Hryb is publishing it on his Major Nelson blog. The expansion concerns thirteen EA games. These include Battlefield, 1.4 and V, Star Wars: Battlefront I and II, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst and Titanfall 1 and 2.
Not all of those games get 120Hz support on the Xbox Series S. For example, that option for higher frame rates is missing with the first Titanfall and with Battlefield 1 and V. Sea of Solitude is also on the list, but it supports 60Hz playback on both consoles. That’s double the original release.
Microsoft introduced the FPS Boost feature in February to display backwards compatible games for Xbox at a higher frame rate when playing on Xbox Series consoles. In March, Microsoft already added five Bethesda games to the lineup of games with FPS Boost.
Not all games have FPS Boost enabled by default on the Series X. This is because Microsoft had to lower the resolution in those games to make the game run smoothly. Gamers can activate the boost function in those cases in the settings. Microsoft recommends installing the latest updates, followed by a reboot of the console. Details about the resolutions are not mentioned. The games use dynamic resolutions.
