The end of the ordeal is approaching for Xbox players! A much criticized absence from the release of Starfield will finally make its arrival with the deployment of an update very soon. Prepare your ship for gravitational jumps, because you’re finally going to be amazed!
60 FPS on Starfield… Yes and it’s coming soon!
One of the elements that was most criticized about Starfield was the absence of 60 FPS mode for Xbox Series players. And more than six months after the game’s release, Bethesda finally announces the arrival of a major update that will improve the game’s performance on Xbox Series consoles. For the sake of stability, this patch will finally offer the possibility of adjusting the variable refresh rate. You will finally be able to choose the settings that best suit your TV or display (30, 40, 60 or an uncapped frame rate on VRR displays). In addition to this already very appreciable addition, Starfield will finally benefit from a Performance mode with 60 frames per second.
From May 15, the completely messy firefights, full of slowdowns in 30 FPS, will be nothing more than a distant memory. So if you’ve let go of the controller to play another game, this update might be an opportunity for you to pick it up again to continue your adventure with Constellation or the Scarlet Fleet!
Other improvements on radars
As part of this update, Bethesda also plans to add some fixes for players’ quality of life. Among the different examples they were able to give, we find improvements to the in-game inventory management system ; This addition will improve navigation and allow you to better visualize the container in your hold.
Furthermore, new combat settings will be available ; they will make space combat more difficult and land combat much easier depending on your desires. And when it comes to ships, the next update will also increase the number of interior customizations you can make within your ship. It also includes new completely empty habit modules, allowing you to start your decoration from scratch.
And the team doesn’t plan to stop there, because some major features are on the horizon, including a new land vehicle to explore moons and planets more quickly, official mod support and the extension Shattered Space. However, you will have to be patient for these elements to be deployed in game. They will arrive in the coming monthsso for the moment let’s take advantage of better in-game stability to then have access to the creativity of modders and the first Starfield expansion. According to Todd Howard, the latter should arrive this fall, a year after the game’s release.
