Back in 2021, modder Lance MacDonald released a patch for playing Bloodborne on PlayStation 4 Pro at 60FPS in boost mode. Sony didn’t seem to notice or care. Until now.

Sony has been getting pretty aggressive with a bunch of fan-made Bloodborne projects lately, having apparently just issued a DMCA takedown to a four-year-old 60fps mod, and it's now going after a gorgeous Bloodborne Demake.
