All Xbox Game Pass Games With FPS Boost

One of the new features on the Xbox Series X/S is FPS Boost, which allows certain optimized games to run at 60 or 120 frames on the console. There are plenty of older games that now support FPS Boost, and Xbox Game Pass includes more than 50 games with an FPS Boost option.

Players are able to revisit old titles and play them again with improved frames and performance, and having at least 60 frames has an immense impact on the user experience. Those with a next-gen console and Game Pass should check out the following titles, which take advantage of all the enhancements next-gen consoles have to offer.

Note: This article only covers games that support the FPS Boost feature, not titles that have been updated to run natively at 120 fps, such as Halo: The Master Chief Collection, or are optimized for the Xbox Series X/S.

Updated March 19, 2022 by Mark Sammut: So far during March 2022, Xbox Game Pass welcomed one new title that supports the Xbox Series X/S's FPS Boost: Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13. The final entry in Square Enix's contentious trilogy is a solid JRPG in its own right, arguably containing the best optimized combat system out of all of Lightning's adventures. The game was always gorgeous, and now it runs as well as it possibly can on consoles. This article's date has been updated to include all Xbox Game Pass games that come with an FPS Boost on Microsoft's latest platforms.

All Xbox Game Pass Games With FPS Boost

At the moment, 70 Xbox Game Pass titles support Xbox Series X/S's FPS Boost feature. This is targeted directly at older games, so titles released on Microsft's current-gen systems obviously do not qualify. Gears 5, Halo Infinite, The Ascent, and Microsoft Flight Simulator can all hit 60fps+ without needing to receive a boost from the Xbox Series X.

Here are all the games on Xbox Game Pass that support FPS Boost.

Alien Isolation
Anthem (Xbox Series X Only)*
Battle Chasers: Nightwar
Battlefield 1 (Xbox Series X Only)*
Battlefield 4*
Battlefield Hardline*
Battlefield 5 (Xbox Series X Only)*
Dead Space 2*
Dead Space 3*

Dead Space Series

With a Dead Space remake in the works, EA's franchise is once again making waves, which is definitely a positive turn of events. Although the first entry is generally considered the best in terms of pure scares, Dead Space 2 does a brilliant job of walking the line between action and horror, delivering an experience that succeeds as both. Dead Space 3 focuses on the former over the latter and includes a couple of criticized mechanics, but it is a decent blockbuster in its own right. Since it is more action than horror, Dead Space 3 arguably benefits the most from the boost in frame rate, and the game is genuinely fun to play despite some questionable design choices. With the FPS Boost provided by the Xbox Series X/S, Dead Space 2 and 3 have never been this fun to play on consoles.

Dishonored – Definitive Edition

Dragon Age 2*

Fable Anniversary
Fable 3

Fable Series

Xbox Game Pass has all three of Lionhead Studios' Fable games, although the second entry is not compatible with the Xbox Series X/S's FPS Boost feature. Even if somewhat polarizing in places, Fable was one of the better action RPG franchises of the 2000s, especially for players who wanted something that did not take itself too seriously all the time. Albion, the series' main setting, oozes personality and charm; this is a world that feels ripped out of folk tales and legends, all the while still include some nuanced political and social ideas.

Even after all these years, Fable Anniversary and Fable 3 still look pretty decent, and the FPS Boost allows their gameplay to shine through. The latter might be the most divisive release in the franchise, but it has the strongest melee combat out of the games; consequently, Fable 3 benefits greatly from the FPS Boost.

Fallout 3
Fallout 4
Fallout 76
Fallout: New Vegas
Final Fantasy 13-2
Gears of War
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition
Gears of War 2
Gears of War 3
Gears of War 4
Gears of War: Judgment

Gears Of War Series

Outside of Halo, Gears of War is the most popular Xbox brand of all time. The series debuted during the Xbox 360 era and was instantly a graphical powerhouse, along with just being a lot of fun to play. At times, 2011's Gears of War 3 looks better than some Xbox One games, while the gameplay was great from the start.

The Xbox Series X/S gives each entry an FPS Boost up to 60hz, presenting the ideal way to experience this beloved franchise. Newcomers can work their way through the Xbox 360 trilogy, try their hand at Judgment if they feel so inclined, and then get started with The Coalition's sequels. Like that, they can get the full Gears of War experience, and it should make for an unforgettable few weeks of gaming.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst*

Mirror's Edge Series

DICE's Mirror's Edge games revolve around smooth first-person platforming and action; consequently, they benefit greatly from the Xbox Series X/S's FPS Boost. 2008's Mirror's Edge delivers a short and sweet romp that maintains a hectic pace throughout its 6-hour campaign. While the combat leaves something to be desired, the game's controls are otherwise spot-on, and once a player gets into the flow of things, Mirror's Edge becomes something truly special. Mirror's Edge Catalyst opts for an open-world design instead of its predecessor's linearity, resulting in a more uneven overall experience. That said, it is still a decent game.

Prey

Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax meant Xbox Game Pass suddenly became flooded with Bethesda properties. The Evil Within, Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Wolfenstein, Doom, and Dishonored all made their way to the streaming service, bringing hundreds of hours' worth of gameplay with them.

Quite a few of these titles also got themselves an FPS Boost, presenting console players with the best way to experience these games outside of high-end PCs. Prey is great regardless of how someone experiences it, but the survival horror shooter's combat is considerably more enjoyable when played at 60hz.

Titanfall 2

Respawn Entertainment has moved on to Apex Legends, however, the Titanfall series has hardly been forgotten. Both games are available as part of EA Play, so an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription is required for them to be playable as part of Microsoft's service.

While Titanfall focuses exclusively on multiplayer, its sequel incorporates a short but really sweet single-player that does not feel like an afterthought. Titanfall 2 gets movement right; whether in or out of a mecha, the first-person shooter controls like a dream. Although a whole lot of fun on the Xbox One, Titanfall 2 jumps up another level on the Xbox Series X/S due to the console's FPS Boost option.
