What Is Xbox FPS Boost?
Xbox FPS boost is a feature launched by Microsoft in March 2021. This feature can bolster performance across backward-compatible titles for Xbox Series X/S while it doesn’t require developers to change input or code.
It unbinds titles from their previous locked framerates, making them run at twice the frame rate as before. For example, one title may have targeted 30 frames per second (FPS) on Xbox One consoles, and FPS Boost tweaks it to run at 60 FPS on Xbox Series X and Series S consoles.
