Summary
The creator of the unofficial 60 FPS patch forBloodbornehas recently removed it from the web after receiving a DMCA takedown from Sony.Bloodbornecan only run at 30 FPS without using unofficial fixes, so the patch became very popular with gamers who wanted an enhanced experience.
Originally released for the PlayStation 4 in 2015,Bloodborneis often hailed as one of the mostpopular games ever made by FromSoftware. The title managed to sell over 7.4 million copies despite being a PS4 exclusive and obtained an average critic score of 91 on OpenCritic. However, the most infamous aspect of the game is how it was never remastered or released on other platforms, something that fans have been asking for almost a decade.
Now, the 60 FPS patch creator, Lance McDonald, has revealed that he removed all links to the unofficial patch after receiving a DMCA takedown from Sony Interactive Entertainment. The project was originally released on July 22, 2025, almost four years ago, and Sony never seemed to have any problems with it until now. The timing of the event has obviously prompted some fans in the comments to suggest a possibleBloodborneremaster coming out soon, while others remained skeptical of the possibility.
Lance McDonald Removes 60 FPS Bloodborne Patch After Almost Four Years
ABloodborneremaster and a PC port are among the biggest dreams of FromSoftware fans. Over and over, insiders keep confirming thatthere’s no PC port forBloodbornein the works, but some fans remain hopeful that it will happen one day.
A few weeks ago, former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida theorizedwhy theBloodborneremaster never happened. According to him,Bloodborne’s director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, “really” loves the game and has some interest in revisiting it, but does not want others to touch the title. So, his likely busy schedule makes it impossible for him to work directly on a remaster, and the project would not move on without him. That’s all speculation, though, and it’s impossible to tell whether Yoshida’s comments actually reflect the reasons for the lack of a remaster.
In any case, thePC emulation ofBloodborneis making progressrecently. Last year, the game’s emulation using shadPS4 crossed a major milestone, fixing many of the sound issues that plagued the emulated version ofBloodborne. Hopefully, Sony and FromSoftware will eventually release the eagerly awaitedBloodborneremaster one day, as it seems like it would sell well, considering how many fans have been asking for this during the last few years.
