Starfield will finally have 60fps mode on Xbox

Star Field Xbox players will no longer have to deal with the game’s 30 frames per second (fps) limit. As part of an update coming on May 15thBethesda will allow Xbox Series X players to run the game at 60fps.

The 60fps option is part of several new display customization settings. The game will allow you to choose to prioritize visuals for “[keep] the highest resolution while retaining every detail for special effects, lighting, and crowds” or choose to prioritize frame rate performance, which “[lower] internal resolution and detail for special effects, lighting and crowds.” Bethesda recommends choosing performance mode when running the game at 60fps or higher.

It also recommends a variable refresh rate (VRR) display running at 120Hz, but you don’t need one to run Star Field at higher frame rates. The only downside is that you may have to deal with the occasional broken screen, and you will also have fewer options for customizing your screen. With a VRR display, you can choose 30, 40, 60, or unlimited frame rate modes.

Several other features are arriving with the May 15 update, including more detailed surface maps that should make it easier to explore your surroundings, as well as new ship customization tools and gameplay options like the ability to access your ship’s cargo. from the player’s inventory. menu. Update is available in beta on Steam now.

In the future, Bethesda plans to add a major Shattered Space expansion, along with a new ground vehicle and official mod support. We might hear more about what Bethesda has in store Star Field during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9.
