Unfortunately, though, almost three years on, McDonald has received a takedown notice from Sony, meaning bye-bye 60fps patch. “On February 21st, 2021, I created and released a patch for Bloodborne which makes the game run at 60fps,” McDonald shared on Twitter. “Today 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 explained in a later tweet that the patch that Sony requested to be removed as 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.’” But, he noted that he’s not interested in “arguing my right to distribute” the patch, even if he says he’s “legally protected” if he chose to re-post it.
