Bloodborne Patch Creator Hit with DMCA Takedown from Sony

Feb 24,2025 Author: Liam

The creator of a popular Bloodborne 60fps patch has received a DMCA takedown notice from Sony. Lance McDonald, a well-known video game modder, announced on Twitter that Sony Interactive Entertainment requested the removal of links to his patch, which he subsequently complied with.

McDonald highlighted the irony, referencing a past encounter with former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida where he jokingly revealed his creation of the Bloodborne 60fps mod. Yoshida's reaction was reportedly laughter.

Bloodborne's continued absence of an official next-gen patch, remaster, or sequel remains a significant point of contention among fans. The game's 30fps performance on PS4 is a frequent criticism. While McDonald's mod attempted to address this, recent advancements in PS4 emulation, specifically ShadPS4 highlighted by Digital Foundry, now offer a near-remaster experience with 60fps performance on PC. This progress raises questions about whether it prompted Sony's more assertive action. IGN has reached out to Sony for comment.

Earlier this month, Yoshida offered his perspective on Bloodborne's lack of updates in an interview with Kinda Funny Games. He theorized that Hidetaka Miyazaki, the game's creator, deeply cherishes Bloodborne and is hesitant to allow others to work on it, despite its popularity and the potential benefits of a remaster or update. Yoshida emphasized this was merely his personal theory and not a leak of confidential information.

Despite Miyazaki's frequent deflection of Bloodborne questions, citing FromSoftware's lack of IP ownership, he did acknowledge in February 2023 that the game would benefit from a release on newer hardware. The game's continued dormancy, almost a decade after its release, leaves fans yearning for any official news.
