[Idea] Allowing FPS Boost to be enabled on games that are not natively supported.

Hi,

Have you enabled FPS boost for this game? The default settings for Far Cry 5 runs the game at 30 fps (30 frames per second). This game has an 'FPS Boost' option that allows you to play this game at a much smoother 60fps.

• On Xbox Series X, go to My Games and Apps
  
• Select Far Cry 5 and choose Manage Games & Add Ons
  
• Choose Compatibility Options, then select FPS Boost
  
• Enable FPS Boost for Far Cry 5
  
• Launch the game.
  

Hello There! For most games that support boost, the feature is on by default. However, for some games, you’ll need to enable it manually. This why i advise you to check the link bellow for further assistance.

Configure your Xbox Series X|S to support FPS boost and auto HDR | Xbox Support

Currently Configure your Xbox Series X|S to support FPS boost and auto HDR | Xbox Support is the last information provided about FPS boost in general. For any game specific feature requests, ideas, or suggestion, we recommend getting in touch with the developer of the game's support.

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,

FPS boost is enabled on the console and compatible game, not via the TV.

Only a set amount of Xbox games have FPS boost. Firstly, you need either a Series X or Series S. FPS boost is not available on the older Xbox One, One S or One X consoles.

Secondly, your game needs to be on this list. The link also has a YouTube video explaining the feature.

Thirdly, to achieve the highest 120Hz setting on selected games, you'll need a TV or monitor that supports that refresh rate.
