will the one x be unlocked on games with fps caps when the new consoles arrive?

frowny229 · Sep 21, 2020

i know certain games like pubg and a few others are locked at 30 fps to give a fair game experience acrosed the board on console. will these be unlocked seeming that every game will be 120 fps on the series s? and solid 60 4k on series x? just wondering

:)

series s will struggle on demanding games to keep 60fps at 1080p. the series x will struggle to keep 60fps at 4k thats for sure. the series x will be ok at 120fps at 1080 and most likely 1440.

Hi there.

Thank you for reaching out to the forum. What frame rate the individual games will be available at is still up to the developer.

Hi,

I'm not sure where you got the 'every game will be 120 fps on Series S' from. The Series S will be capable of 120 fps, but that may not be possible on every game.

As for Xbox One games at higher frame rates, that's possible, but it will only be on certain games. Plus, such features have to be patched in either by the developer or via the BC team. Xbox One games won't automatically run at higher frame rates on Series
X or S.

This is how Xbox Series S backwards compatibility really works

The game is capped at 30 frames so youre not going to see a massive frame difference between the vanilla One and the X (like 30-60 fps) but the X holds it at 30 where the older console varies. You’ll get a full 1080p image on the X as well as faster loading
times.

Hi,

Sniper Elite 4 ran at 30 fps on Xbox One. Using backwards compatibility on the Series X/S won't automatically make this game run at 60 fps. The only way that will happen is if the developer or the backwards compatibility team modify the game to unlock the
frame rate.

BC Can:

Make games run more closely and smoothly to the original target frame rate (30 or 60 fps)
Disable Dynamic resolutions on games that used this feature. For example, a 1080P dynamic resolution game that would drop resolution to maintain a target FPS will now run at full 1080P. Same with 4K games.
Add 16x Anisotropic filtering to all titles.

BC Can't

Unlock a locked (baked in) frame rate cap
Run games that have a locked resolution from running in higher resolutions, not without the BC team or the developer interaction.

The 1440P @ up to 120 FPS is not false advertising. Dirt 5 can run up to 120 FPS on Series X and S and Gears 5 with the Series X/S optimisation patch also can run up to 120 FPS (multiplayer only). Call of Duty Cold War also has a 120 FPS
mode in multiplayer.
