The power of the Xbox Series X has been demonstrated through Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which can run at 60fps on Microsoft's new system.

The story of FromSoftware and frame rates has been one of frustration, from Blighttown to Bloodborne. Everyone complains about Bloodborne, which runs at a locked 30fps. There are even unofficial patches that can let the game run at 60fps, but these aren't endorsed by FromSoftware. The fact that Bloodborne is going to be part of the PlayStation Plus Collection gives fans hope that a 60fps upgrade is in the works on PS5. But what about Sekiro?

Xbox Series X preview units have been sent out to different people and Jeffrey Grubb of GamesBeat has received one of the systems. In Grubb's hands-on impressions video, he demonstrates the power of the Xbox Series X through its backward compatibility upgrades. During the demonstration, he shows Sekiro running at a locked 60fps. By comparison, the Xbox One X can only run the game at around 30-40fps.

Not all games will benefit from this upgrade, as some titles have their frame rate locked by developers. An example of this is No Man's Sky, which still runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X. It's possible that developers will upgrade their older games to account for the new hardware in the future, however.

Sekiro is already an incredible game, but as Grubb pointed out, the smoother frame rate is a huge improvement and could prompt many people to want to experience the game again.
