Summary
ABloodbornemod thatmade the game playable in 60fpshas been taken offline at the behest ofSony. The mod’s creator, Lance McDonald, has removed the links he posted for his fan-made patch, although it’s unclear why Sony decided to take action after all this time.
Bloodborne 60fps Patch had been available online since February 2021, so this DMCA takedown notice comes almost exactly four years after its release. Fans of the game aren’t quite sure what to make of this development, as some hope this means that Sony is planning to do something with Bloodborne itself, whereas others are much less optimistic.
Sony Comes After Bloodborne’s 60fps Patch
Some fans think this means that something official is happening with Bloodborne
“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,” says McDonald, writing on Bluesky.
There are still backups archived online, so the mod is not gone for good. However, it will take a little more searching around than it used to, and anyone posting the links might have their post taken down through a copyright strike now that Sony is going after it.
In the replies, some speculate that this means Bloodborne is either getting an official 60fps mode in an update, or even through a re-release. Of course, fans have wanted Bloodborne to be ported to PC since launch, but this never came to be. However, there’s no word on this happening right now.
Naturally, this is where fans step in. Recently, we reported on howsome have got Bloodborne running better unofficially on PCthan it does on PlayStation.
