(Help!) XSX Insider Beta Update for FPS Boost

Hi,

I believe there is some confusion between 'Optimised for Series X|S' and FPS boost. When a game is optimised for Series X|S, it means that a game update was released from the developer of that particular game to boost it's graphics and performance. Optimised games will not have an FPS boost option in compatibility settings.

The recent update to Shadow of the Tomb raider increased the game resolution to 4K (using dynamic rendering) increasing the frame rate at 4K to 60 fps. The Xbox One X version of the game only runs at 30 fps in 4K.

FPS boost is a game modification made by Microsoft's own BC team, the developer doesn't provide this boost. Some Xbox One games with FPS boost have it enabled by default, others (usually the 120Hz enabled titles) do not.

Like I said earlier, Optimised games do not have an FPS boost option as the performance has been increased by the developer.

I hope that makes sense.

Hi that does make sense except that the ‘Version’ is not V 2.01 as many game websites have shown. The version is shown as V 1.81.

I have re-installed on internal ssd to make sure.

Plus other games that have X/S indicated do have the fps boost shown, am taking this is developer specific also.

Hi there. I tried using this same method & it's not working for me either. I uninstalled & reinstalled the game on my Series S & still the FPS Boost option is not available. Are you sure this is what you have to do? Nothing I've done has worked so far.

There won't be an FPS boost option as this update was from the developer, not Microsoft. The update increased the FPS in-game.

Hi Coranos! I will be happy to help you!

I'm sorry that you are going through this situation, what I could recommend is to increase the FPS because increasing FPS increases the number of frames per second in selected games, which gives you a smoother visual experience and a more immersive gaming experience.

To make sure your setup can benefit from an FPS increase, check the following.

Make sure your console has the latest update:

Press the Xbox button to open the guide, then go to Profile & System > Settings > System > Updates.
Select Update console and apply any necessary updates.

Make sure your TV supports the 120Hz refresh rate. This varies depending on the TV model. Be sure to check your owner's manual to enable this on your TV.

Finally you can increase the FPS.

Enable FPS Boost in Compatibility Settings for the game:
In My games & apps, select the desired game, then press Menu > Manage games & add-ons > Compatibility options.
Enable FPS Boost.
