Starfield Finally Hits 60FPS on Xbox Series X with New Performance Mode

In a major update this month, Bethesda has finally brought 60FPS gameplay to Starfield on Xbox Series X, thanks to a new Performance Mode. This update is a significant milestone for the game, which has been criticized for its performance issues.

The new Performance Mode is exclusive to Xbox Series X players and allows them to play the game at a smooth 60FPS. This is a significant improvement over the previous frame rates, which were often criticized for being too low.

In addition to the new Performance Mode, the update also brings two Variable Refresh Rate settings for TVs that support it. Players can choose to play the game at either 40FPS or 60FPS in VRR mode, which should help to maintain a stable frame rate during intense combat or space exploration.

“We’re excited to bring this new update to our players,” said Todd Howard, studio head at Bethesda. “We’re committed to continually improving the Starfield experience, and this update is just the beginning.”

The update also includes several quality of life updates, including a revamped inventory management system. This new system allows players to easily view and manage their inventory, making it easier to keep track of their gear and supplies.
