Sony has issued a DMCA takedown notice against a fan-created 60fps patch for Bloodborne, developed by modder Lance McDonald. The patch, released in February 2021, significantly improved the game's performance on various platforms. Despite McDonald's legal standing regarding the distribution of the patch, he chose to remove it in compliance with Sony's request. The situation has sparked speculation about a possible remaster of Bloodborne, particularly since fans were also hoping for a remake by Bluepoint Games, which ultimately shifted focus to other projects.
"On February 21st, 2021, I created and released a patch for Bloodborne which makes the game run at 60fps. Today I received a DMCA takedown notification on behalf of Sony Interactive Entertainment asking that I remove links to the patch I posted on the internet, so I've now done so."
"The platform-agnostic version of the patch was used on PS4, PS5, and the PC emulator. It doesn't contain any copyright infringing content, it is a 'patcher.'"
"Many fans were hoping that Bluepoint Games’ next title would turn out to be a Bloodborne remake, but it turned out that it was actually working on a God of War live service game, which has now been canned by Sony."
