Behold! Bloodborne running at 1080p 60fps on a PS5

blood borne it has taken on a sort of mythical quality in recent years. It was already one of FromSoftware’s most celebrated games, but the fact that it remains stuck on PS4 is what created a sentiment around it that extends beyond the game itself.

While the game can be played on PS5, it doesn’t take advantage of its superior hardware. It’s still a 30fps experience at its launch resolution of 720p. Meanwhile, PC gamers have practically gone crazy waiting for it to arrive, switching to turning similar games into Bloodborne instead.

But that hasn’t stopped modders from continuing to find ways to make the game playable on PS5 at a higher resolution and 60fps, the real reason everyone wants a Bloodborne remaster/re-release. Lance McDonald, whose name should be quite familiar to anyone who follows the Souls community, has returned with what is perhaps his best work yet.

McDonald, a well-known Souls modder, previously made Bloodborne run at 60fps on a PS4 Pro, and later released a mod that anyone with a modded console can use to do the same.

Today, McDonald’s released a gameplay video running at 1080p, 60fps on a PlayStation 5. This was accomplished without any dithering trickery or image enhancement. Only 1080-60 footage running on real hardware.

You can see for yourself in his raw gameplay screenshot below, which features some exploration, combat, and the boss fight from Father Gascoigne.

The modder didn’t say how he arrived at this result, but it’s probably out of reach for most of us with standard PS5 consoles. Some sort of jailbreak will likely be required to run this code, and will likely remain the case until we get an official remaster/re-release of the beloved game.
