Apparently someone made it run at 60fps on a PS5 devkit, and it's frustrating because I actually have access to one but there are no instructions anywhere so I can't experience the beauty of Bloodborne in 60fps :-(

Anybody with a hacked/jailbroken PS4 Pro or PS5 can run it at 60 fps. A dev called Illusion makes patches for other games too. If you got an old PS4 Pro lying around, and haven't updated it in a year, it's more than likely hackable. It's pretty simple, really.

  I've got Bloodborne running on a standard PS4 at 60fps using the Illusion patch (you have to drop to 720p but it still looks great).

  Now that you mention....I do have an old PS4 Pro I definitely haven't used in more than a year - will look into it!

  The PS4 Pro struggles to run this game at 60fps due to a CPU bottleneck. On the other hand, PS5 runs it remarkably stably at 60fps and even 120fps is decent. Source: Me and my hacked PS4 Pro and PS5.

Don't worry, I think it's only a matter of time before you'll be able to do this. Either through an official PS5 remaster, an official PC release (less likely) or via some funky unofficial emulation. Even though it's only 30fps the game is quite beautiful for being 9 years old and running on a previous gen console.

  it is something to worry about if you care about playing the original. I'm only interested in straight ports with minimal QOL features like 60fps(or unlocked if viable), higher resolution and controller rebinding. I haven't played a single remaster that I preferred to the original game. I'm fine with remasters existing, but only if faithful ports are made available as well.

    The Resident Evil 4 remaster is considered to be much better than the original by almost everybody. Same with the Demon's Souls remaster.

      Those are remakes and not remasters. Different beast. The trouble with remasters is they're usually farmed out to third-party devs who don't always give it the same attention to detail as the original developers. A prime example would be Dark Souls Remastered, which actually makes some of the graphics worse compared to the original PC version.

        The line between remaster and remake is a blurry one. Nier Replicant ver.1.22... isn't officially called either a remake or a remaster, and a convincing case could be made for either. Yet it changes more than Demon's Souls PS5 does.

      It is easy to find criticism of Demon's Souls' remaster's art style by entering that term into your favourite search engine. This isn't "considered" true by "almost everybody". Regardless of any person's opinion on the changes, being substantially different is enough reason that it isn't a suitable substitute for the original.

Lance McDonald (@manfightdragon) is the someone, I don't think the patch is shared publicly though. He plays it sometimes on his Twitch channel. I've seen LobosJr play the 60 fps version too.
