Gothic action Bloodborne on PS4 and PS5 gives out only 30 frames/s, but thanks to the patch from Modder Lance McDonald, it is also launched at 60 frames/s. Almost four years after the Sony patch did not like it.

Recall that McDonald released his unofficial update for BloodBorne on February 21, 2021, however, the attention of Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has attracted only today, January 31, 2025.

McDonald said in his microblog that he suddenly received DMCA (a complaint about a violation of the author’s law in the digital era) on behalf of SIE with a demand to remove links to the patch, which the modder did.

What is the reason for the Sony decision to pursue an unofficial mod with support for 60 frames/s for Bloodborne right now, shortly before the 10th anniversary of the cult game, is unclear.

Bloodborne fans of BloodBorne, which were distinguished by perseverance, could only mean one thing: Sony is probably preparing an update/remaster/remake of their favorite game. Almost 10 years of expectations have developed immunity to disappointments with fans.

Against the backdrop of the situation, McDonald remembered how the ex-head of PlayStation Studios, SHUHEI Yoshida, met him, told him that he was doing fashion for plays on the PlayStation: “And he laughs.”

Meanwhile, the creators of the Shadps4 emulator have already achieved considerable success in reproducing Bloodborne with a PC. The works of enthusiasts recently appreciated the Digital Foundry and remained impressed.
