Xbox adds FPS boost to more games, including ones available via Xbox Game Pass Cloud

Earlier this week, Xbox released a giant software update for its games on Xbox Series X/S which upped the framerates of many of its older games to allow smoother gameplay.

The feature is called FPS Boost and it bumps up the frames-per-second rates from 30 to 60 or even 120 in some cases. This happens to allow games to feel smoother to play, and results in a much more comfortable experience.

I’ve cross-examined the list of games now supported by FPS Boost with the list of games available on Xbox Game Pass Cloud. Here are the games available to play on mobile via the cloud which now also have an increased frame rate:

• Battle Chasers: Nightwar
• Beholder Complete Edition
• Dead Island Definitive Edition
• Dishonored Definitive Edition
• Don’t Starve: Giant Edition
• Dragon Age: Inquisition
• Fallout 4
• Fallout 76
• Gears of War 4
• Golf With Your Friends
• Halo Wars 2
• Halo: Spartan Assault
• Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition
• Metro 2033 Redux
• Mirror’s Edge Catalyst
• MotoGP 20
• My Friend Pedro
• My Time at Portia
• New Super Lucky's Tale
• Overcooked! 2
• Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2
• Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid
• Prey
• ReCore
• Shadow Warrior 2
• Sniper Elite 4
• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
• The Gardens Between
• Totally Reliable Delivery Service
• Two Point Hospital
• Unravel 2
• Unruly Heroes
• Untitled Goose Game
• Wasteland 3
• Yakuza 6: The Song of Life

So that’s a lot of titles that have now received 60FPS+ support on mobiles. FPS Boost is only possible due to the much more powerful hardware available inside Xbox’s new consoles, which is why many last generation games are receiving this treatment.

You can check out Xbox Game Pass on the official website right here. If you want to play these games on your mobile phone via cloud streaming, you’ll have to sign up for the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate tier which costs £10.99 a month. Make sure your internet is fast enough for a smooth experience too.
