Bloodborne 60fps Patch Pulled Over Sony DMCA Takedown

Lance McDonald, creator of the Bloodborne 60fps patch, announced it is no longer available due to a DMCA takedown notice from Sony Interactive Entertainment. The fan-made patch affected the PS4 game and also offered support for the PS4 Pro. The game released 10 years ago in March 2015.

Here is McDonald’s statement. In it, the creator noted links to the Bloodborne 60fps patch were removed immediately after Sony sent out the DMCA. 

As a follow-up to that, McDonald also shared a photo taken with  Shuhei Yoshida. Yoshida used to be the Sony Interactive Entertainment president, as well as Head of Independent Developer Initiative, before departing the company on January 15, 2025. He was made aware of McDonald’s patch at that time.

In case you didn’t get a chance to see how the Bloodborne 60fps patch worked in-action, McDonald shared an over 15 minute showcase on YouTube that highlighted how the update worked.

Since its March 2015 launch, we haven’t seen Bloodborne again. FromSoftware and Sony haven’t announced any remaster project, sequel, or revival. Fans have stepped up to keep it alive in ways, such as the Bloodborne 60fps patch and fan game Bloodborne Kart. The latter ended up being renamed and released as Nightmare Kart.  

Bloodborne is available on the PS4.
