Here's everything you need to know to enable FPS Boost mode on your brand new Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S console.
Microsoft has done a wonderful job implementing backward compatibility into its consoles, and the Xbox Series X|S recently brought a new feature that makes past-gen games run better than ever. With a recent system update, the Xbox Series X|S got a new FPS Boost Mode. When this is turned on, select Xbox One titles can take advantage of the latest consoles' added power to display at a faster framerate.
How to Turn On FPS Boost Mode on Xbox Series X|S
Before you can use FPS Boost Mode on Xbox Series X|S consoles, you'll need to make sure the latest OS version is installed. The OS update will automatically download, and a message should display asking players to install it. If you're not sure which OS version your console is on, you can check by going to:
- Settings
- System
- Console Info
- OS version
Microsoft added the FPS Boost Mode feature to the Xbox Series X|S in update 10.0.19041.6736 (xb_flt_210303-1700), so as long as your console is at that version or above, you're good to go.
To turn on FPS Boost Mode, you'll need to follow these steps:
- Go to "My games and apps."
- Highlight a compatible title.
- Press the menu button and select "Manage game and add-ons."
- Select "Compatibility options."
- Check the box next to "FPS boost."
What FPS boost does depends on which game you use it with. With most titles, the feature bumps the framerate up to a solid 60 fps. However, it can raise it all the way to 120 fps on less demanding titles.

As of writing, there are only a few titles that can utilize FPS boost mode. Unfortunately, it's not a feature that players can use with any title. Microsoft must patch each game to make them compatible with FPS boost.
