For years now, fans have been begging Sony and FromSoftware for something new related to theBloodborneIP. It has easily proven itself as one of the most popular titles in FromSoft’s catalog, and fans want more of Yharnam. Whether that wasa proper sequel inBloodborne 2, a PC port ofBloodborne, or just an upgraded/remastered version of the original game.
After all, while some games got some improvements on PS5,Bloodbornewas not one of them. Even on PS5, the game is locked to 30 FPS and can only run at 1080p. Visuals aren’t everything, of course, andBloodborneis just as much fun on PS5 as it is on PS4. That said, for those who want to seeBloodbornein the glory of 4K and 60 FPS, the below fan-made video is right up their alley.

YouTuber ElAnalistaDeBits (as shared first by Screen Rant) shows 10+ minutes of simulated gameplay, with the game running at 4K 60 FPS. The gameplay goes through theBloodborne’s hunter’s first steps into Central Yharnamall the way to the Cleric Beast. As one would expect, the gameplay looks much smoother and the 4K brings out a ton of detail in Yharnam’s architecture.
There are a couple of framerate dips throughout the video, but by and large, it’s an impressive upgrade. It’s exactly what fans would want out of aproper PS5 upgrade forBloodborne, which doesn’t seem like much to ask for given the game is 7 years old. It should also be noted that FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki has talked before about disliking sequels because of their inherent limitations. Aside from theDark Soulstrilogy,Bloodborne, Sekiro, andElden Ringare not likely to get numbered sequels.
So,Bloodborne 2—for better or worse—feels like a limited possibility, meaning either a proper upgrade, remaster, or remake are the likeliest scenarios forBloodborne’s future…at some point. At the same time, Sony also owns the IP and has been open about moving more of its games to PC; aBloodbornePC port, then, doesn’t seem to be out of the question.
Regardless, FromSoftware’s catalog is one of the moved beloved in gaming, and to seeBloodbornerunning at 4K 60 FPS is tantalizing. It’s uncertain how much activityBloodbornewill see over the next few years, but it stands to reason that FromSoftware is not stopping its tried-and-trueformula for Soulsborne games.
