With the release of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, the vast majority of players have been preoccupied with beating the plethora of bosses in the latest Soulsborne game. However, while some players on PC may have a rig powerful enough to increase their FPS in these battles, the capped framerate in Sekiro prevents it from rising above 60 FPS. Thankfully, there’s already a Sekiro Uncap FPS mod to resolve this issue, removing the locked framerate from the game. Read on to find out how to unlock framerate on PC in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
Sekiro Uncap FPS | How to unlock framerate on PC
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice shares the same engine as previous Soulsborne games, potentially explaining why the framerate is capped at 60 FPS. If you want to push your framerate higher, you can head over to Nexus Mods and download the “Sekiro FPS Unlock and More” utility mod. This allows you to either push the cap to 100 FPS, or unlock it completely.
This mod also enables custom resolutions with 21:9 support, the ability to increase field-of-view, and also allows for the game to be run in borderless window mode (which is great for streamers). Of course, you should be wary that modding files can lead to corrupted save files, in addition to a greater risk of bugs and glitches in the game. We’d recommend only installing mods if you are ready to accept the consequences when things potentially go wrong.
Backing up your save files, as well as the game’s installation folder, can help to offer a safety net against problematic mods. If things go awry, simply replace the modded game folder with the original clean version.
If you suffer from screen flickering, this might actually be an issue with the game’s resolution on PC, which you can fix by changing the text files to account for a missing file.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and the Best of the Soulslikes
It's always exciting to see a new genre emerge. You get that original hit game, the follow-ups and the attempts by other developers to recapture the magic. With the release of Sekiro, let's look back at the landscape of Souslikes so far. -
Demon's Souls
The original that kicked it all off (unless you count King's Field), Demon's Souls went under the radar on the PlayStation 3. Originally, gamers didn't know what to make of it, but anyone who stuck with it got an amazing experience that was unlike anything on the market. -
Dark Souls
By the time a new generation rolled around, From Software had moved from demons to darkness. The Dark Souls trilogy cemented the genre tropes, proving to achieve the popularity that their previous title had only hinted at. Far more than a cult success, these games proved to be influential even outside the genre. -
Bloodborne
Once things started taking off, original Demon's Souls publisher Sony had to get back in the action. Teaming with From, the result was Bloodborne. Taking things was from medieval castles and including firearms for the first time, this was the first hint that this formula was flexible. -
Lords of the Fallen
Developed by Deck13 Interactive and CI Games, Lords of the Fallen takes things in a more Norse direction. Using hammers and axes, you must fight towering gods and demons. After this game's success, the two developers split, with CI working on an upcoming sequel to this Viking Soulslike. -
Nioh
Team Ninja tried their hands at Souslikes with Nioh, a game where you control an Irish Samurai and fight yokai. The game was announced back in 2004 as Oni and changed hands multiple times before release. Originally another PlayStation 4 exclusive for the genre, the game has since come to PC with all its DLC bundled in. -
The Surge
Deck13 took what they learned from Lords of the Fallen and took the Soulslike genre into the future. The Surge has you stomping around in a mech suit fighting uncontrollable robots. Once you destroy an enemy, you can scrap their parts and convert them into weapons for you to use. A sequel is currently set to release in 2o19. -
Ashen
Developed by A44, Ashen puts players into a world without light. Each character is a muted faceless person, adding to the downtrodden vibe of the entire experience. While combat is inspired by Dark Souls, the game also features open-world exploration and novel passive multiplayer encounters. -
Immortal: Unchained
Going even more Norse than Lords of the Fallen, Immortal: Unchained finds you battling the monsters of Ragnarok. Instead of swords and spears, your character uses a mix of technologically advanced firearms to take down each and every mysterious foe. More fast-paced than other soulslikes, you'll need to duck and weave to stay alive. -
Death's Gambit
Pitched as a merger of Souslike and Castlevania, Death's Gambit is also one of the first games to take these concepts into the second dimension. You can choose from seven playable classes as you seek immortality in this labyrinth of death. -
Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption
What if you didn't have to explore a Soulslike? What if you just fought a collection of out of control boss monsters? Then, you'd have Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption. In this game, you start at your strongest and level down as you progress, adding to the challenge.
