Xbox FPS Boost allows select backward-compatible Xbox games to run at double or even quadruple the original framerate without any developer input, so the games you remember running at 30fps can now hit the heady heights of 60fps or even 120fps to make for an even better experience.
This feature is only available onXbox Series XandXbox Series S, so if you’re still using a last-gen console, we’ve got bad news, just because it requires the vastly increased CPU power of these newer platforms to run the games at a higher framerate.
We’ve assembled the complete list of titles applicable to this feature and details on what framerate the games used to run at, how they run now, and any other particulars worth noting. It’s worth noting that someXbox FPS Boostgames are considered some of thebest Xbox Game Pass games, so it’s worth taking a look.

Xbox FPS Boost doesn’t require any developer input but it is subject to certain restrictions. Some games might only be patched on one platform since a backward compatible Xbox One X version could already be running a game at 60fps. Other games might be very demanding and require the settings to drop down to the Xbox One or Xbox One S version of a game before increasing the framerate.
Just be aware thatMicrosofthas now finished updating older games through FPS Boost, so don’t expect any further additions to this list. Still, if you’ve ever wanted to revisit a game but couldn’t bear to play it at 30fps, then, check out the full list of FPS Boost-supported games below.
