One benefit of owning one of the newer Xbox consoles is the addition of features like FPS Boost, which can completely change the way you experience your favorite games.
How to Get 120FPS/Hz on Every Xbox Console (XB1/S/X/SERIES S&X, UPDATED DECEMBER 2023)
Microsoft recently announced that five popular games from Bethesda Softworks, including Fallout 4, will get higher frame rates (sometimes referred to as frames per second or FPS) on the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S with FPS Boost.
It’s one of many steps that have brought previous-generation games up to speed with the higher framerates and visual quality possible on newer consoles. While it may not seem like a big deal to users who aren’t playing at higher framerates, experts say the buttery-smooth performance that comes with higher framerates can drastically change the experience.
“FPS boost means that Bethesda games will now function at higher frames per second,” Bishal Biswas, a former game blogger and now CEO of Word Finder, told Lifewire in an email. “Frames [like resolution] are responsible for the video quality of any game.”
