It was only a couple of weeks ago when we posted that 13 EA games received the Xbox Series X|S FPS Boost, effectively doubling the original frame rates of previous-generation games. In some cases, games will be playable at up to 120 fps if you have the right setup. Today, Microsoft added another 70 to the list, bringing the total number of games with the feature to 97.

Many of the new additions are part of Xbox Game Pass and EA Play for members of either or both via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Some of the games benefitting from the FPS Boost feature include DiRT 4, Wasteland 3, several Assassin’s Creed titles, some LEGO titles, Metro 2033 Redux, Watch_Dogs, and Watch Dogs 2. Some games will get a boost to 120Hz, while others will see an increase to 60Hz.
In addition, unfortunately, some of these titles will only receive the boost on the Xbox Series X and not the Series S. These titles include:
- Anthem
- Battlefield 1
- Battlefield V
- Dead Island Definitive Edition
- Dead Island: Riptide Definitive Edition
- DiRT 4
- Dying Light
- LEGO Worlds
- Life is Strange 2
- Mirror’s Edge Catalyst
- Shadow Warrior 2
- STAR WARS Battlefront II
- Titanfall
While the feature will be enabled by default, there are a number of games where it will be disabled by default on the Xbox Series X. These titles are:
- Anthem
- Assassin’s Creed III Remastered
- Battlefield 1
- Battlefield V
- Dishonored: Death of the Outsider
