FPS Boost is the most next-gen feature for me. Xbox has something no console ever had. They give life to 20 years of Xbox legacy with Backwards Compatibility, Auto-HDR, FPS-Boost and Quick Resume. If I didn’t already have an Xbox I would get one instantly. So much games I’ve wanted to pick up and now they got this amazing feature. These features replace the €60 Remaster crap. If Mass Effect had FPS Boost I didn’t even need the remasters

[@ZeroShaneBob]

Yeah, part of the reason I left Xbox back during the start of the Xbox One days is they lacked exclusives, and features. Then they announced backwards compatibility, and I basically instantly returned. Since then they have consistently impressed me with their support for legacy games. From the greatly expanded library, One X Enhancements, and now FPS Boost. I think if you are an actual fan of Xbox, and have followed them since the OG console, you might feel a bit spoiled with all this great stuff lol

Because people are stupid, even as MS does everything people said they needed - many will stick with PS even if MS's massive first party turns out the hits. The press and lots of the tubers and streamers are also to blame for how they cover MS like it still 2013, or course (the way the cover Bethesda purchase and still wonder about exclusivity when Phil made it clear is very, very telling, and even moreso when most of them have powerful P's).

[@ZeroShaneBob]

The console "exclusive" aspect is the only thing lacking. As a basically Xbox first guy, I can't argue with anyone that brings up the lack of must play games on the platform. I personally went back to Xbox specifically due to their crazy good support for backwards compatible games on Xbox One, and it's only gotten better and better. It really is still a waiting game for Xbox to churn out that must have game still to this day. Halo Infinite's delay was a major blow IMO. But yeah, Xbox is absolutely unmatched in features. I have been an Xbox fan since the OG Xbox, and I feel spoiled as a fan. When the big games start dropping, it's going to be absolutely sick.

Amazing video. BC and FPS boosted games/FPS patched games/ more stable frame rates are the EXACT reason I bought a Series X and I am thrilled I did.

[@Huss_D]

Reading a lot of comments complaining that the FPS boost is just for old games, or that gamepass is overpriced and has no good games on it. I just don’t get it, the FPS boost is free! It’s such a nice bonus and if you have gamepass, which is cheap, (especially if you buy an Xbox ‘gold card’ and covert it to ‘gp ultimate’) it’s really cool and easy to see some classics playing at 60 FPS like fallout 3,4 and NV. We gamers are a negative bunch sometimes. New games are so detailed and hard to make these days, we have to understand that it takes a long time. So in the meantime let’s enjoy the cheap and fun gamepass, and enjoy the free FPS boost to some of our older games. 😀

[@mikem2253]

People complain no matter what. I, for one, buy all these fps boost games on sales. Definitely support this initiative!

[@ConcussiveCrow]

Backwards Compatibility and FPS Boost are like a "Love Letter" to Gaming, they didn't have to and yet, they are Delivering, I wish some day this Library looks Gargantuesque

[@pixelbitg9386]

Do games in FPS boost still get better texture filtering? Because these games look awesome

[@liltilt9484]

Certain titles I think. Max Payne 1 is 120 hz in 4K as far as I can tell.

[@CRAZYGREGFILMS]

My only complaint is how using FPS mode degrades the level of details back to like a Xbox One/s

[@oror3751]

It's happens on 20 games out of 97 games A lot of games didn't got one x enhancement at all

[@alexlyster3459]

I imagine there are reasons for it. The back compat workaround probably still runs into bottlenecks that genuine next gen ports wouldn't have.

[@TheLucasbuck]

Great video. The two stand outs from this batch of games are definitely Shadow of the Tomb Raider and The Division. Basically 4K 60fps on Series X. I love these frame boosts but the sweet spot is 4k 60fps over 900p 120fps. Really hope they get back to the high resolutions of the One X upgrades. As much as I'd love both, I prefer a sharp image over higher resolutions.

[@pleasuretokill]

1440p/120 would be perfect to me. Even a variable res from 1080p to 4k at 120fps

[@tolgat7453]

[@svenk5221]

If you have a series s get a gaming monitor 1080p/144hz with freesync (VRR) and you are gold. Played the performance mode of Guardians of the galaxy which stutters actually quite a lot and urBeats a perfect expieremce for me. You probably won’t notice any stutters in Homefront too. Also Titanfall 2 singleplayer on 120 fps is a Must Play

That is such a false statement it's funny. Sony might not have fps boost or anything but they haven't gone greedy at all. They have 25 exclusives in development half are new IP. Sony consistently releases AAA exclusives throughout 2020 and 2021 while xbox said they don't need games for launch. Who is more greedy here? Don't even get me started on that xbox live double price controversy. Seriously, what is up with people right now that everyone jumps on the hatewagon for sony but always forgets the shit xbox did/does.

This is so cool, I just wish they could do more. Lowering resolution to sub 1080p is less than ideal, especially when they have a One X patch. It seems like they gave up on enhancing older Xbox and Xbox 360 titles (which was only resolution if I recall) and are only focusing on Xbox one games via framerate at the cost of resolution.
