Update: Digital Foundry has analysed Dark Souls 3's FPS Boost already for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and has confirmed that it runs at a "near-perfect" 60fps at the original 900p resolution on both consoles.
Original story: In case you missed it, FromSoftware's punishing action RPG Dark Souls III has just received an FPS Boost on Xbox Series X|S.
While it's become common for a lot of past-generation releases to receive this treatment, apparently this one is a little different. According to Xbox's director of program management, Jason Ronald, it required a "brand new technique" in order to achieve 60 FPS on the Series X and S.
Unfortunately, he didn't specify what exactly this unique and brand new technique is... so if we hear anything, we'll update this post. Of course, some are already asking for more information about this:

Considering how fast digital foundry got an article up without a video when they normal put both out at the same time. Id say we are going to have another list of games announced soon.
Sounds like this is doing what cyberpunk did. Its not Series optimised but it is 'aware' of the series hardware and runs accordingly
Considering they said brand new technique and not patch to support the current technique I wonder if it is just back compat that is aware of the new hardware.
Interesting that a res boost is mentioned. The Digital Foundry article reports that it's still 900p on both Series consoles.
900p really sucks it’s 2021. FPS boost is great without a doubt, but if a game didn’t get a One X update like this, the resolution still suffers thanks to the weak Xbox One.
Hats off to all involved. What a great achievement. Very happy with my Series X purchase!
