Is an official announcement coming?
Sony has filed a takedown notice against a Bloodborne 60FPS patch made by Aussie YouTuber Lance McDonald.
“On February 21st, 2021, I created and released a patch for Bloodborne which makes the game run at 60fps,” McDonald wrote on Twitter. “[On 1 February] 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.”
McDonald added that, “[it’s] worth noting that my Bloodborne 60fps patch which Sony requested I remove from my pages was the platform-agnostic version of the patch. It was the version used on PS4, PS5, and the PC emulator. It doesn’t contain any copyright infringing content, it is a ‘patcher’.”
As for the reasons why Sony has issued the takedown notice? The publisher hasn’t said, though both McDonald believes it’s because an official announcement of a remaster or remake is on the way.
“My copium theory is that Sony DMCAed the 60fps patch and the video about the Bloodborne demake so that when they announce a 60fps remake, google searching for “bloodborne 60fps” and “Bloodborne remake” won’t have collisions with our fan projects,” he wrote, adding, “Let me cope.”
Bloodborne is currently available on PS4.
