Microsoft isn't saying how often we can expect new FPS Boost titles, but the company stressed that it goes through a testing period to make sure the games perform properly at a higher frame rate. Additionally, there'll be an 'FPS Boost' badge that appears when you hit the Xbox button while playing a supported title. Microsoft also says it's going to give players more control about enabling FPS Boost and Auto HDR later this spring under the 'Manage Game' options for every title.

That's a particularly big upgrade for Xbox Series S owners, where that game previously ran at just 30FPS. Most of this first batch of FPS Boost games are getting their framerates doubled from 30 to 60FPS, but New Super Lucky's Tale goes even further with support for a silky smooth 120 FPS on both new systems. Together with the ability to automatically add HDR to older titles, Microsoft is now giving players a new reason to revisit some of their favorites, or clear out their backlog with more modern performance.

The company is rolling out its 'FPS Boost' feature for a few backwards compatible Xbox One titles: Far Cry 4, Sniper Elite 4, UFC 4, Watch Dogs 2 and New Super Lucky's Tale. Just as Microsoft promised, its next-generation Xbox Series X and S will be able to play a few older games with higher frame rates starting today.
