Modder plans to release a Bloodborne 60fps patch - but will give Sony a chance to go first on PS5
Modder Lance McDonald plans to release a Bloodborne patch that makes the game run at 60 frames per second - but will give Sony a chance to make it happen on PlayStation 5 first.
In a video showcasing From Software's wonderful action game running at 60fps on a PlayStation 4 Pro, the celebrated modder said he'll let Sony go first "out of respect for PlayStation".
"I'll be releasing this patch publicly once the PlayStation 5 has released and Sony have made it clear whether or not Bloodborne will be enhanced on that system in any way," McDonald said.
"Out of respect for PlayStation, I want them to have the first chance to put 60fps Bloodborne into the hands of players."

The original runs at a fixed 30 frames per second. Obviously, to use McDonald's patch you need a way to run unsigned code on a PlayStation 4.
"Hopefully the future of Bloodborne is bright in the hands of PlayStation Studios and with the PlayStation 5 hardware, but if not, at least we have this in the meantime," McDonald said.
