Played some Sleeping Dogs last night. Damn it feels good at 60 FPS.
Also tried some Far Cry 5 and New Dawn. Ran into an odd glitch in 5. Did the mission where Faith turns someone whom opens the county jail for the Cultists and you have to take it back. Frame rate literally tanked to single digits and stayed there. Sound also glitches out to nothing. I cut it off after that but didn't boot back up to see if it was an isolated incident or not.

This really does add such value to the Series S, even if it's not for every game. When you consider the BC games available, and the fact that it's even running some of these games at 60fps/120fps all for $299, it's really not a bad deal, and it's only going to get better with time.

there are 2 Series S exclusive fps boosts for games that already ran at 60 on X but not on S (Steep and MotoGP 20). so no that's not the reason as they can clearly target the Series S only if they want to.

Just played Hollow Knight at 120fps 
This might be the most awesome bonus feature ever in console gaming, as a PC gamer 120fps isn't so rare but locked 120fps is not common and to have it in the living room is something I've never experienced before. And to slowly bump the lowend framerate on so many games to 60fps is wild.
Now, do Forza Horizon 3 please! And Assassin's Creed Odyssey! And they need to start digging through the 360 library, I think Ridge Racer 6 would be neat at 120fps, PGR4 at 60fps should be nice as well.

Halo 5 isnt boosted? Guessing it has to do with having a fair multiplayer?

It was already 60fps. I think the cutscenes were 30 but that might not be something they can change easily (having to re-render prerendered cutscenes etc.)

Don't think so, MCC has 60fps and 120fps options.
Can go to 120fps.

Can't find my AC:Unity disc. I wonder if I ended up giving it away.
Well, well, well….I was 90% certain I had bought AC:Unity on disc and was so disappointed in the performance that I gave it to my nephew. Got hold of said nephew and he said he didn't have it and didn't ever recall having it. Anyway, last night I opened up my Full Library of digital games on my Series X to see what games I actually had downloaded over the years were on the expanded FPS Boost list. And….why hello there AC:Unity. And Alien Isolation too. Quite a few more FPS titles further down the list. Xbox BC Team, you glorious bastards. Hope they do Black Flag as well at some point.

I Agree.
I wanted to play Pray cos I heard it is kinda great but also it is not suited for 30
So it was great news that it got FPS Boost... But then I saw that it was a 3.5 year old game and puked all over my apartment.
It was a mess.
Old games are disgusting and only perverts play them

Indeed it is. I hope they can add more system level stuff like that.. a DLSS like resolution boosting feature on a system level would be absolutely amazing. Not needing to rely on devs for all that is a huge win.

Totally agree. I tried several of the new boost titles, and AC: Unity really stood out. Looks brand new.Started playing AC Unity today. This game looks really good now, could almost pass as a current gen title.
That said, time to finally play Sleeping Dogs. I have gotten 15% in to this game a dozen times.

I have quite a few new games to play, but here I am, testing all these boosted games in my free time. An amazing feature.
Wasteland 3: drops the resolution, but it is not super noticeable as the game was never all that sharp with X enhancements. Will definitely use FPS Boost when the DLC comes out
Mad Max: I really liked the game when it came out, but 60 fps makes it so much more pleasant to play. And it still looks pretty damn good for a sub-1080p. Auto-HDR has something to do with it.
Recore: From a disaster at launch to one of the most fun Xbox exclusives last gen. Added content, X enhancements and now 60fps transformed the game. The only problem is its terrible HDR implementation - I had to fiddle with advanced settings and TV setting so that all that sand doesn't blind me. By the way, this one doesn't drop the resolution with FPS boost on.
AC Unity: just like you guys said. It looks like a new game. If MS adds res boost in the future, this one will look amazing.
AC Rogue remastered: Again, uses the X version. Looks fine, but it is kind of weird that graphically Identical AC3 remastered had to drop the resolution
My Time at Portia: My daughter loves watching me play this one, but 30fps really felt brutal. So, now it will be easier for me to enjoy this.

this sucks because im most of the way through 5 on my xbox1x, no series console yet
Maybe this happened because AC3 is just a remastered version of the "older" AC3, while Rogue based on the newer engine Black Flag used. Their remasters aren't that great, too. Just bumbed up visuals and lighting but on the core it still seems to be the old code (and AC3 Remastered still crashes).
Btw, I really can't play AC Rogue anymore, after playing newer titles. I just want to climb up everywhere and it does not work ...
Also it seems things in AC Rogue Remastered got worse, like the ship-system. Whenever I'm in a fight with other ships, sooner or later a big waves destroys the other ship I have hit once or twice and I can't collect anything. This didn't occur in the xb360 version of the game. It was hard to collect 30 Metal in the introduction-missions when every ship you want to board sinks before you can actually board. And if a wave destroys a ship, everything from it is gone. But this also happend before the fps-boost, seems to be an issue with the remaster.

Hopefully the reason that Halo 5 hasn't is because it will get some official support soon like MCC has been getting. 120 fps seems logical for it.

that would need a native patch tho and not FPS boost. but MCC also has actual patches for Series X|S so if they do it I bet it's a patch and not FPS boost.
it wouldn't work out with FPS boost since Halo 5 uses a dynamic res and we would end up with the One S version again if they did simply an FPS boost thing... also Halo 5 needs a fucking FOV slider like MCC!

I know not everyone agrees with you here, judging by some of the responses, but as a big Xbox fan, I agree. I know I was in the minority, but I wished that the Series X would have been $600 and the Series S $400 so that they could each have a bit more RAM and additional GPU power. Perhaps 14 TF and 20 GB of RAM for the Series X and 6 TF and 12 GB of RAM for the S. Enough to double the One X for the Series X, and enough to run the One X profiles on the Series S as is, with potentially more stable performance on both.

all they need to do is to figure out how to either:
A: Lower the resolution on FPS Boost games that have issues, without going all the way to the One S version.
or
B: Lie to the game about the framerate it is currently running at. Dynamic res games will not lower their res as long as they don't drop below their original framerate target. so a game like Titanfall 2 will try to run at 6k (which is apparently the upper bound on One X) until it drops below 60fps. that is a huge issue when FPS boost is introduced. so they would basically need to find a way to give the game fake data so that it thinks it drops below its original framerate target even tho it is acually running at 2x that.
in order to run some of these dynamic res games at 120fps would currently need WAY more horsepower than 2x of the One X. 6K120fps is WAAAAY above 2x of what the One X can do, even 6k60fps is way more than it can do, it only ever reaches that res if you are in a super low stress situation an look straight to the sky or something.
just a bit of maths with Titanfall 2 as an example of a dynamic res game.
Upper Limit: 6144x3160 60fps (1.164.902.400 pixels per second)
Typical Perf.: 2666x1500 60fps (239.940.000 pixels per second) (no exact numbers but in the ballpark of what Digital Foundry etc. found)
Series X would only drop below 6144x3160 if it goes below 60fps. so in order to play it at 120fps in One X mode the Series X would need to actually push the full 6k resolution of the original One X version...
so for FPS boost it would need to push 2.329.804.800 pixels per second... that would need 9,7x of the horsepower of the One X

Probably just waiting for it to be added to MCC this fall when Infinite comes out, then you'll have the 120fps option.

Been trying to run Alien Isolation from my Series S expansion card, it runs like garbage no matter what I do. No idea why..
Video of the choppy shite -

This is a known bug with Alien Isolation and some other games where having an external drive (including the expansion) plugged in causes the slowdowns. Something to do with the game checking storage states or something constantly despite getting a positive callback iirc.
You'll need to transfer to internal and unplug the drive while playing Alien Isolation for the time being.

Elliot, I could kiss you! It was bugging the hell out of me and the only thing I didnt try was taking out the expansion card whilst installed on the internal. I'll try it tonight.

Yakuza 3 does it to me too. Have it on the internal, but have to unplug my external everytime I play it or it stutters out and becomes unplayable.

Managed to try a few of these so far but there are so many!
Assassin's Creed Unity, just brilliant and looks especially good on my Series S on a 1080p TV.
Mad Max, just wow at the quadruple frame rate on Series X, so smooth and a pretty underrated game.
Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, keeps the X1X resolution and looks brilliant.
Deus EX Mankind Divided, like a different game at 60fps, played and looks good on Series S too.
I can't believe how good Shadow Of The Tomb Raider runs, if you've got the game it's well worth another go.

they boosted plenty of games and many other were patched that also have multiplayer.
Master Chief Collection runs at 120fps on Series X|S (tho through a patch not FPS boost) so that's 100% not the reason.
Halo 5 would need an FOV slider first, that is a bigger issue for the game than being stuck at 60fps

MS has stated that they check with the title holder before enabling FPS Boost so that they don't interfere with any plans for remasters/reboots, etc.
Considering how much trouble they've been having tracking down all the parties involved for BC games, they probably don't consider it worth the effort to try to get approval for FPS Boost on 360 or older games.
My guess is that anything they already own (example: Oblivion) might get the boost treatment, but don't expect more than a handful of games.
I'm hoping for Perfect Dark Zero at 60fps.
