Bloodborne: 60 FPS on PlayStation 5 – but only with mod

If you’re a fan of 2015’s Bloodborne, then you probably know how painful technology can be. From Software or Sony seem to have precious little ambition to do anything new with the brand. So modders step into the breach.

Visually, From Software’s Bloodborne is truly a treat. The game world with its influences of Lovecraft and Victorian London is always enchanting, the technology behind it is by no means in contrast. The game runs on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro and also the PlayStation 5 with a maximum of 30 frames per second. And even those low FPS suffer from crappy frame times, resulting in a stuttering image.

However, Sony and From Software don’t seem to have any ambitions to give fans what they want: a patch to 60 FPS or a direct remaster. The game has been idle since its release in 2015, although the community remains loyal to it. There have been enough rumors about a remake or a second part in the past, but nothing came from the official side.

However, the modder Lance McDonald kept rubbing salt in the wounds of the hungry fans. Because he managed to run Bloodborne in 60 frames per second on a PlayStation 4 Pro. Only in 720p, but you take what you can get.

Now McDonald has struck again and heaved the Soulsborne onto the PlayStation 5. The results are definitely impressive, because the game not only runs at 60 FPS on Sony’s new console, the resolution could even be raised to 1080p. It looks really good and makes you want more.

So far, he has not said how he did it. However, your PlayStation 5 must almost certainly be jailbroken or otherwise modded. For the PlayStation 4 pro port, he accomplished this by taking apart the Dark Souls 3 pro patch and applying it to Bloodborne.
