The ‘Starfield Direct’ we saw after the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, June 11, 2023 we were impressed with the visual quality and large amount of gameplay options that the next Bethesda game will offer us. But there is a very important detail that was not mentioned there. Starfield will perform at 30 fps or animation frames per second on Xbox Series X and S consoles, not 60.
Before continuing talking about this, here we have again the ‘Direct’ presentation of this title. If you’re interested in this game, it’s worth a look.
Now yes, let’s talk about what interests us again. Todd Howard himself — CEO and executive producer of the studio — confirmed the news in an interview with IGN. According to him, the game would sometimes hit 60fps performance on console, but they decided to limit it to 30fps for consistency.
What is the performance speed and resolution of Starfield on Xbox Series X|S consoles and on PC?
As we already said, Starfield will run 4K at 30fps on Xbox Series X consoles, at 1440p at 30fps on Xbox Series S
Everything seems to indicate that if you play on a powerful PC, the game will reach the speed of 60 fps or even more.
This news did not go down well with a sector of the ‘gamer’ community, which began to criticize the study. It is true that it is disappointing that such an important game does not achieve the performance that this generation of consoles was supposed to aim for. However, we do believe that constant 30fps performance is preferable to fluctuating performance.
