Microsoft has updated another Xbox One title with its FPS Boost feature on the Xbox Series X|S consoles. This time FromSoftware’s Dark Souls III has been given a boost to 60 frames per second on the Xbox Series X|S.
Jason Ronald, partner director of program management for the Xbox team, via Twitter said that adding FPS Boost to Dark Souls III "required a brand new technique." He also thanked their partners at From Software and Bandai Namco for their support.
Dark Souls III released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in March 2016. The next Souls-like game from From Software, Elden Ring, will launch for the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on January 21, 2022.
We heard you! The team is thrilled to bring FPS Boost to Dark Souls 3. This required a brand new technique, unique to Dark Souls 3, to enable 60 FPS on Xbox Series X|S.

Brand new, unique technique? More details please.
Sounds like this is custom made for DSIII, so however they did it, it's not applicaple to other games and they probably won't do the effort for anything less popular.
That begs the question, why didn't they just do a One X enhancement or Series X enhancement patch when they already worked with From Software?
did it not before?
When u have all that power but can't play it on 60fps
Coz it's locked in 30 haha!
Sometimes power isn't everything it's because of how the game was made!
Well for this the power is important. 60 fps wouldn't be feasible without the CPU upgrade in particular. We know this because PS4 Pro was uncapped for this game, but stayed below 60 fps.
