It's not official, but it sure is Bloodborne 60fps

At this point, "Bloodborne 60fps" sounds exactly like "cheap rent" or "werewolf-human relations" to me – it doesn't exist, as much as I wish it did. Knowing this, battle-weary Bloodborne fans and modders have banded together to deliver a highly competent PC emulator that may not be the real thing, but at least looks like it.

As demonstrated by Digital Foundry in a new YouTube video, the latest shadPS4 emulator build successfully boosts the entirety of the 10-year-old Bloodborne to 60fps – except for in places like grubby Central Yharnam, where shadPS4 struggles to keep up with all the densely packed, bearded beasts and instead briefly drops to closer to 40fps.
