One of the most repeated criticisms against starfield It is the fact that it is not a game that is especially optimized. This was mainly said on PC, but possibly more than one did not like to see that the game only worked at 30 frames per second on Xbox Series X, the powerful model of the latest generation of Microsoft consoles.
Fortunately, the next update which is about to reach the version of starfield for Xbox allows increase the frame rate per second on the Series. If the monitor does not have VRR support, the available options will be 30 and 60 frames per second.
The update of starfield for Xbox Series will not only allow you to modify the frame rate per second, but will also include the ability to prioritize visual quality or performance in each of the possibilities at the frame level. If the user selects Visual Quality mode, the game will do its best to maintain a high resolution and high level of effects and NPCs, while Performance mode reduces the resolution and level of effects and NPCs. NPC. Of course, in both modes the base resolution is adjusted based on what is on the screen.
Bethesda recommends activating performance mode if you intend to play at 60 frames per second or more. For its part, if it is executed starfield On an Xbox Series Preferring a good visual finish or greater fluidity depends on the user’s priorities, and obviously, this makes the Xbox Series version closer to the PC configuration level.
The May update for starfield will bring a map review to increase readability on all platforms. The new design shows 3D images of the terrain, buildings and objects such as trees and rocks to provide more complete and precise information, in addition to being details that do not hurt to be present on a map. Another thing coming are options to adjust difficulty on land and in ship battles and navigation markers in the environment when walking on a planet.
The May update for starfield It will arrive, unless there is a surprise or last-minute inconvenience, on May 15, 2024 for Xbox and PC. Leaving aside the improvements, it is a bit curious that Creation Engine 2, the engine used by the game, shows apparent difficulties running at 60 frames on a ninth generation console. Creation Engine 2 is the successor to the previous version of the same engine, which in turn derives from a fork of the Gamebryo engine that was used in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3. Because of that, some define Creation Engine 2 as “the Morrwind” with vitamins, although Id Software has had some participation in the implementation present in Fallout 4.
