The company today <a href=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/2021\/02\/17\/making-backward-compatible-games-even-better-with-fps-boost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">announced<\/a> FPS Boost, a feature that does exactly what its name implies: make old titles run faster.<\/p>\n<p>Although Microsoft and developers had already optimized some backwards compatible titles, the new FPS Boost works without the need for game updates or changes by the developer. Using \u201ca variety of new methods,\u201d the backwards compatibility team was able to nearly double or quadruple the original framerates on some titles.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the current list of supported titles is rather minuscule, although it does include some popular titles:<em>&nbsp;Far Cry 4, New Super Lucky\u2019s Tale,&nbsp;Sniper Elite 4, UFC 4, and&nbsp;Watch Dogs 2<\/em>. Microsoft notes New Super Lucky\u2019s Tale can run at 120fps, while UFC4 can run at 60fps on the XSS.<\/p>\n<p>Although FPS Boost doesn\u2019t require work by the developer, Microsoft said it did consult with developers to ensure the game\u2019s original intent is maintained.<\/p>\n<p>The company will roll out new menu icons and system settings related to the feature in an upcoming update. In the spring, you\u2019ll be able to&nbsp;access new compatibility options that let you turn FPS Boost and AutoHDR on or off. Of course, five games isn\u2019t very much, so Microsoft says more titles will be able to support FPS Boost \u2018soon.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><i>Did you know we have a newsletter all about consumer tech?
