Summary
- Ever since the PS4 Pro, 60fps has been a revelation for console gamers, with many opting to exclusively play games at the highest framerate possible.
- Taking to Reddit, PlayStation fans discussed the games that could desperately use a 60fps patch, including the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Batman Arkham Knight.
- Yes, Bloodborne could use a patch, but this was a chance for other games to get some love.
By this point, we all know that Bloodborne is in dire need of a 60fps patch. Whether the recent DMCA takedowns eventually lead to one remains to be seen. That said, there are other games beyond Bloodborne that could also use a boost in framerate.

Bloodborne Fans, It Might Be Time To Move On
There’s no evidence that anything is happening with Bloodborne, and as we approach its tenth anniversary, maybe it’s time to throw in the towel.
To their credit, Ubisoft managed to patch Assassin’s Creed Syndicate to include 60fps, and also did the same for Far Cry New Dawn, giving fans hope that other titles could also similarly see some modernization. But with over 11,000 games on the PS4, according to MobyGames, it’s but a drop in the bucket. Taking to Reddit, PlayStation fans discussed the games not named Bloodborne in most need of some upgrades.
There Is Nothing Quite Like 60fps
Fans immediately cited Red Dead Redemption 2 as a game in need of a 60fps patch, and we couldn’t agree more. Rockstar’s 2018 title is among the best among all video games, but it is hard to go back to on console, its slow start notwithstanding.
“Close the thread,” one user cheekily wrote in response.
Batman Arkham Knight was another top pick among gamers. Rocksteady’s final entry in its trilogy of Batman titles still looks great, but 60fps would take it to the next level. “I used to check weekly to see if Arkham Knight was getting a patch after the PS5 dropped, until I realized it was never coming,” a user said.
In an interesting twist, one user suggested Middle-earth: Shadow of War as a game that could use a 60fps patch. Anything that can get more people invested in the Nemesis system is a win. Elsewhere, a gamer listed Ghost Recon Wildlands. “With Ubi pushing out 60 fps patches for older titles, I’m still hopeful for this,” a gamer responded.
Other games making the rounds include the likes of Dishonored 1-2, Sleeping Dogs and even The Order: 1886, though that last one is probably the least likely to happen. Personally, a 60fps patch for Mad Max would be pretty fun. It would certainly get more people into one of gaming’s most hidden gems. Maybe all of these will get a patch at some point in our lifetimes. Here’s hoping.
