Unleashing the Next-Level Power: Bloodborne on PlayStation 5 With Mind-Blowing 60 FPS Experience

Highlights

A talented patch creator has successfully hacked Bloodborne on PlayStation 5, raising the frame rate cap and allowing the game to run at 60 FPS.

Fans of Bloodborne have been anxiously anticipating an official remaster or patch, but dedicated modders like illusion have taken matters into their own hands to achieve it unofficially.

The progress in PS5 hacking has been remarkable, as recent advancements have enabled modders to enhance frame rates and resolutions in different games, sparking optimism for the future of PlayStation modding.

A successful patch creator has managed to enable Bloodborne to run on PlayStation 5 by utilizing a hack that removes the framerate limitation. Over the past few months, advancements in PlayStation 5 jailbreaking have provided the necessary tools to unlock the framerate in various games, including Bloodborne.

Even after eight years, Bloodborne remains a prominent topic of discussion on Twitter, consistently resurfacing in public discourse. It has become a running joke that every time PlayStation holds a State of Play or Showcase event, there will be an announcement regarding a Bloodborne remaster or a release for PC. Unfortunately, fans have been waiting for this announcement for nearly a decade, but despite this, dedicated individuals are still attempting to independently patch Bloodborne.

illusion, a patch author, has successfully achieved what many had hoped for, though unofficially. By providing evidence that the game was being played on a PS5, a video showcases a early portion of Bloodborne running at 60 FPS, and the gameplay through Yharnam appears to be smooth. Lance McDonald, the creator of an unofficial Bloodborne patch, collaborated with a hacked PS5 to accomplish this feat. McDonald, a video game content creator specializing in hacking and working with developer tools, developed a 60 FPS mod for Bloodborne over two years ago, though it was initially limited to the jailbroken PlayStation 4. Notably recognized for his involvement with the ill-fated PT demo, McDonald presented Bloodborne running at 60 FPS on the PS5 through his YouTube channel in June, but the specifics behind his achievement remained unclear. However, illusion's tweet now confirms that their modified version of Bloodborne is functional on the PS5 within a firmware version range of 3.00-4.51.

Context: The vulnerability of PS5 hacking depends on the installed software version. In 2022, a Kernel exploit was released, granting read/write access. Although not a complete jailbreak, it proved highly valuable for modders and patch creators. However, only PS5s with firmware older than version 4.51 are susceptible. Combined with a recent memory breakthrough and illusion's recent demonstration of higher frame rates and resolutions in other games, the future of PlayStation modding looks promising. While an official remaster or patch for Bloodborne remains a distant hope, the efforts of these modders keep the dream alive for gamers, ensuring Bloodborne can be experienced at 60 FPS.

Bloodborne is accessible on the PS4 platform.
