YouTube Debuts 60 FPS Videos With Titanfall and Battlefield: Hardline Trailers
YouTube is getting set to deliver the ability for content creators to upload 60 frames per second videos, and two of its initial examples are game trailers.
The news was announced on the YouTube Creators Blog: “Your video game footage with crazy high frame rates will soon look as awesome on YouTube as it does when you’re playing, when we launch support for 48 and even 60 frames per second in the coming months. Take a look at some preview videos on the YT Creator Channel. Make sure you’re watching in HD!”
To that end, we’ve posted the clips below. Do make sure to hit the little gear icon and upgrade the resolution to 1080p, it makes quite a difference.
YouTube also announced that it would be adding "Tip Jar" feature starting with a handful of content producer channels. This will allow you to make direct financial donations to your favorite YouTube creators with the click of a button embedded on the video page.

Our Take
This is great news for gamers, as YouTube has become the chief way that companies display their games to us. I’m sure this will also be welcomed by the many YouTube game streamers and competitive gaming organizations that rely on YouTube for much of their exposure.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
