Sony Issues DMCA Takedown for Bloodborne 60FPS Mod Four Years After Release

The removal of Lance McDonald's popular fan patch has sparked speculation about potential official updates, though no announcements have been made.

Lance McDonald, the creator of the 60FPS mod for Bloodborne, complied with Sony's DMCA takedown request after nearly four years of the patch being available.
The mod allowed Bloodborne to run at 60 frames per second on jailbroken PS4 systems, addressing the game's original 30FPS limitation.
Fans are speculating that the takedown could indicate Sony's plans for an official remaster or update, potentially tied to the game's upcoming 10th anniversary in March 2025, though no confirmation has been provided.
Sony’s action has drawn comparisons to Nintendo's aggressive legal approach to fan projects, raising concerns about game preservation and modding communities.
Bloodborne remains a PlayStation 4 exclusive with no official updates for PS5 or PC, despite ongoing fan demand for enhanced versions of the game.
