Bloodborne's 60fps Mod Takedown Sparks Remaster Speculation

Recently, a popular 60 frames-per-second (fps) modification for ‘Bloodborne’ was removed due to a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice. This action has led many to believe that an official remaster or remake might be in the works.

The mod, which enhanced the game’s performance, had been widely used by the community. Its sudden removal caught many off guard. Typically, such takedowns occur when official content is on the horizon, leading to increased speculation.

‘Bloodborne’ originally launched on the PlayStation 4 and was praised for its challenging gameplay and atmospheric design. However, players have long desired performance improvements, especially a smoother frame rate.

On February 21st, 2021, I created and released a patch for Bloodborne which makes the game run at 60fps. Today I received a DMCA takedown notification on behalf of Sony Interactive Entertainment asking that I remove links to the patch I posted on the internet, so I've now done so
