We're still waiting for Microsoft to roll out the feature on Xbox Series X|S that will double the framerate of select backwards compatible titles. When this enhancement does arrive, certain older titles will be able to jump from 30FPS to 60FPS and even from 60FPS to 120FPS.
Xbox Series X|S director of project management, Jason Ronald, last month confirmed fans would be hearing more about this feature at some point this year, and now, there are rumours circulating that it could be happening next week.
It all stems from a Spanish tech YouTuber, known as ElAnalistaDeBits, who apparently has something exciting to share with Xbox fans on 17th February (that's next week). In the same tweet, they go on to thank Xbox for the early access.
"On February 17, Xbox fans are going to have some very interesting content on the channel. I can't say more until that day. Thanks to Xbox for giving me early access so I can prepare my coverage in advance!"
This was followed with a similar comment from the same individual on a Spanish forum. In this, they added they were confident the details would leak beforehand while restating how it's "top" information about the Xbox Series X|S.
"Until February 17 at 6:00 p.m. I cannot speak, but it will surely leak earlier due to the bulk of days left. But come on, I think it is VERY top for Xbox Series."
If you look at this YouTuber's channel, you'll see it's filled with performance and graphical analysis videos, which explains why so many now think it could be tied to double frame rate enhancements for BC titles. One of the most recent clips uploaded is an Xbox X|S and PC comparison of The Medium, for example.
This has now got a lot of people thinking we'll be seeing more of the double the framerate feature next week. What do you make of all this? Leave a comment down below.

Great, i've been waiting for full reveal of BC enhancements on series consoles all this time ... Can't wait for next week!
I'd rather have high fidelity at 60hz than 1200p at 120hz.
Seems to be the 30FPS to 60FPS BC enhancement we have been waiting for since that Fallout 4 demo last year.
Hopefully they have a nice batch of games to drop at once.
I imagine Fallout 4 and Skyrim will be among them.
If they've got Mirror's Edge running at 4K60 I might even pay scalper money for a Series X!
The Lightning trilogy running at 60fps would set my heart on fire! 😍
Hope this can also be used via xCloud. Won't buy an Xbox Series X anytime soon (likely in a couple of years when the exclusives start to hit), but I am interested in using GamePass with xCloud. Would be nice to be able to play the BC games on GP with double the framerate.
Please give us RDR2 at 60 fps. Woud love to go through the campaign again in full 60 fps glory!
