Bloodborne, the acclaimed PlayStation 4 exclusive developed by FromSoftware in 2015 and one of the games PC players have clamored for over almost a decade, is back in the spotlight as bbport, the PC port of Bloodborne created by fans that lets you enjoy it on Windows PCs without the need for an emulator, received its v1.09 update from developer SuperMedo22, allowing it to run at up to 120 FPS, four times the 30 FPS limit it had on PS4, something fans have urging Sony to address for years without a response.
This marks a huge leap for a community that had waited years for a version of the game to be accessible to the so-called “master race,” and this free port once again impresses by adding the most modern upscaling technologies, NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 and AMD FSR 3.1 and FSR 4, which let Yharnam look sharper than ever without overburdening the computer, along with fixed FPS modes of 30, 60, 90 and 120 and a very convenient launcher that gets everything ready in a few clicks, without manually editing files.
Advanced visual technologies, online features and system requirements
In simple terms, the DLSS 4.5, available only on NVIDIA RTX GPUs, and the FSR 3.1 and FSR 4 from AMD, which run on all compatible cards, process the game at a lower resolution and then reconstruct it in high definition, translating into more FPS with nearly the same image quality, and that means the Bloodborne PC port can run smoothly even on machines that aren’t high-end.
Lo anterior se traduce en una fluidez que alcanza los 120 FPS en 1440p usando tarjetas gráficas potentes como la NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, y además de la mejora visual, esta versión integra en fase de prueba el protocolo de red shadNet, que devuelve la vida al mundo del juego al permitir ver las notas escritas en el suelo por otros cazadores, las manchas de sangre de sus muertes y los fantasmas errantes.
Además, su creador destaca que incorpora un sistema de actualización automática y compatibilidad con mods de la comunidad sin romper los archivos originales, advirtiendo que para correr el juego de forma correcta se necesita Windows 10 u 11 de 64 bits, una tarjeta gráfica compatible con Vulkan 1.3 con sus controladores al día y al menos 6 GB de almacenamiento disponible.
Step-by-step installation guide
La instalación de este port para PC de Bloodborne requiere que tengas tu propia copia legal del juego de PS4, actualizada a la versión 1.09, tal como detallamos en la guía del port para PC de Bloodborne sin emulador, ya que el archivo que se descarga desde GitHub no incluye el juego completo.
- Download the Bloodborne-Windows.zip file from the official GitHub repository.
- Unzip it to any folder on your computer.
- Open the Bloodborne.exe, which functions as the launcher.
- Select the folder of your game copy, the one that contains the eboot.bin file.
- Adjust the FPS, the resolution and the upscaling according to your system’s capabilities.
- Click Play to start the adventure.
Durante la partida puedes abrir el menú de ajustes presionando la tecla Insert o las dos palancas del control, y tus partidas guardadas se almacenan automáticamente en una carpeta llamada user.
