A modder finally gets Bloodborne running at 60 FPS on PS5 - and it's awesome

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

A notable modder has released footage of Bloodborne running at 60fps on PS5 with no downsampling of any kind. It's a new development for the long-running project to get FromSoftware's opus running optimally on modern hardware. 

Bloodborne is one of the best PS4 games, and technically available to play on the PS5, however, with no improvement to framerate, as the base game remains stuck at an inconsistent 30fps. One prolific modder named Lance McDonald has been on a crusade to change that, though. For over three years, he has made it his mission to double the framerate of the massively popular action-adventure title to bring it in line with the likes of Elden Ring and Dark Souls: Remastered before it. 

The new version of the modded patch is available on the PS5 which showcases the game in its native 1080p resolution with no downscaling as was previously the case. Lance has released a demonstration video of Bloodborne running in this fashion and the results are incredible. We see the early game's environments, such as Central Yharnam and the Forbidden Woods, running like never before. Silky smooth and just as visually stunning, which is compounded by the boss fight shown with Father Gascoigne. 

The original version of the patch, which has been extensively covered by Eurogamer's Digital Foundry testing out all possible resolution and scaling options, was previously only available on the PS4 Pro. 60fps was very much possible in Bloodborne, however, in order to achieve that on lock, you needed to reduce the resolution all the way down to 720p, which meant for an overall massive graphical reduction for double the framerate.

I've argued that Bloodborne is in desperate need of a PS5 optimization patch for a long time now, and Lance's latest development shows just how effective it could be. The game originally released back in 2015 and hasn't received any official support from Sony on its current-gen console. As someone who had the original PS4 Pro 60fps patch running, albeit at a reduced 720p, I am excited to see exactly how difficult it would be to replicate these results and get this patch running for one of my favorite games of all time. Hopefully it's just a matter of time before everyone officially gets this definitive experience.

For discounts on some of the best PS5 games, we're excited for the upcoming Prime Day video game deals. Alternatively, if you haven't got Sony's latest system yet then it should be selling with reductions during the Prime Day PS5 deals, too.

Horabot is described as a botnet that has been active for almost two and a half years now (first spotted in November 2020).

Want to store 1PB of data in the cloud? This startup can do it for you for as little as $10,000 a month — Qumulo says it can scale to Exabytes off premise and wants to eradicate tapes once and for all

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Qumulo has launched Azure Native Qumulo Cold (ANQ Cold), which it claims is the first truly cloud-native, fully managed SaaS solution for storing and retrieving infrequently accessed “cold” file data. Fully POSIX-compliant and positioned as an on-premises alternative to tape storage, ANQ Cold can be used as a standalone file service, a backup target for any file store, including on-premises legacy scale-out NAS, and it can be integrated into a hybrid storage infrastructure, enabling access to remote data as if it were local. It can also scale to an exabyte-level file system in a single namespace. “ANQ Cold is an industry game changer for economically storing and retrieving cold file data,” said Ryan Farris, VP of Product at Qumulo. “To put this in perspective with a common use case, hospital IT administrators in charge of PACS archival data can use ANQ Cold for the long-term retention of DICOM images at a fraction of their current on-premises leg

No light without dark : making the most of ‘shadow IT’

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support In the last few decades, technology has created a modern digital workforce that is technically skilled and adept at finding innovative solutions that would help them succeed at work. However, with 95% of employees struggling with digital friction in the workplace - including a lack of access to the right tools - ambitious employees who are hungry for results have often needed to explore fixes outside the scope of existing systems provided by their employers. On top of that, the popularity of cloud-based apps has resulted in business processes often ending up fragmented across various systems, requiring workers to devote time to manual maintenance. This has accelerated the spread of (the unnecessarily ominous sounding) ‘shadow IT’, or applications that savvy workers use without official authorization to help them bypass limitations and get work done. In a perfect world, a balance can be struck between giving these technically skilled workers freed
