The Xbox Series X is large on backwards compatibility. While the system all the same doesn't really accept a system-selling exclusive title, Microsoft has done a ton of work to ensure that Xbox One games run better than ever before, particularly when it comes to frame rate. Today (May 3), Microsoft added a whopping seventy new titles to its FPS Boost program, which lets older games run at up to 120 frames per second on Xbox Series 10 — and, occasionally, on Xbox Series Southward as well.

Information comes from Microsoft's Major Nelson blog, where longtime Xbox spokesman Larry Hryb discussed the new additions to the FPS Boost roster. The bulk of the weblog post is the same as it was back in February: namely, information on what FPS Boost is, and how to activate it. But as of today, the Xbox Serial X supports 97 FPS-additional titles, compared to 27 earlier this year.

Every bit detailed in the post, not all games will automatically be fix to FPS Boost. This is because some titles will run into a slightly resolution downgrade to accommodate the increased frames per 2nd. Simply it tin be hands enabled past going under Compatibility Options in the Manage game and add-ons section. Hryb made a quick YouTube video showing how to do it.

Of course, given the differences in power between the Xbox Serial X and Serial Southward, FPS heave across all titles is not equitable. Xbox Series X owners volition see more games at that 60Hz or 120Hz level. Still, Xbox Serial Southward owners will have 84 games with increased performance at their disposal.

Other new games include a plethora of Assassin's Creed titles (including the much-underrated Unity), a handful of Far Cry games, Hollow Knight, the bulk of the Lego game series and the delightfully underrated Mad Max. Check the blog post to learn exactly what frame rates yous tin await on each system, but if you have any affinity for these games, it's worth checking out your favorites to come across how much better they might look.

The always-increasing library of backwards uniform titles on Xbox Serial X and Xbox Series S gives Microsoft another arrow in its quiver confronting Sony. While the PS5 does see increases in performance to at least 500 titles, as compiled by website Backwards-Uniform, it by and large features games that were compatible on the PS4. Sony still has non come up forwards with a solution to the large swath of games released on the original PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PS3. Microsoft, on the other hand, has compatibility for a respectable pick of games dating back to the original Xbox.

If the current schedule is any indication, the side by side batch should come out one-time between now and the end of the summertime. Hryb plans to encompass this news in more detail on his podcast later this week, and then keep an ear out if y'all're interested.
