I have been a 60 man throughout this gen but I just devoured 155 hours of TotK at 30fps and bow at its feet. It is what it is. We will all survive.
Todd Howard has confirmed that Starfield will run 4K/30fps on Xbox Series X & 1440p/30fps on Xbox Series S
- Thread starter IDontBeatGames
- Start date
I actually can't believe people expected 60 like it's just a switch you flip for every game without consequence or some shit lmao
If you saw the presentation today and you thought this would run at 4k 60 on a console idk what to tell you

I wonder what "Recommended" is targeting because Ryzen 5 3600X doesn't seem that powerful...
Those are basically the Series X's specs minus the 6800 xt.
Put in a 40 fps or unlocked option, then, Todd!!
The game is highly likely CPU limited. Dropping resolution won't matter. The game looks to be using some form of TAAU anyway (or TAA, but it would be dumb not to use TAAU)
Which is why I find it weird. Is recommended targeting 4K30 as well?
If it's a CPU bottleneck, lowering resolution won't do much.
Why? Would you rather they tone down the physics aspects and everything else just for 60fps? Like I know for stuff like shooters or linear action adventure games 30fps is rough and a terrible target but for stuff like a physics based rpg I'd prefer that extra interaction with the world, and you can physically see and feel why they target 30
it's heavily optimized, the game is just extremely hard on the CPU.
It's the price you pay if you go all in on crazy universe simulation.
physics is generally minor part of the simulation. We're talking about the NPCs moving in the background and doing stuff that you don't see.
It was always going to be 30fps on console, any faux outrage at this is going to be entirely manufactured.
I wish the stated the res, and performance for the recommended specs.I wonder what "Recommended" is targeting because Ryzen 5 3600X doesn't seem that powerful...
That's exactly where I am.. hehe. Hoping my right-around-the-recommended CPU (9700K in my case) can keep up.
I guess? We also don't know how much the Series S/X versions are leaning in reconstruction. It kinda would explain a 2080 or a 6800 xt if it supports DLSS.
In a game like this, it's the CPU that's the limiting factor, not the GPU. Lowering the resolution won't actually do anything to help.
Because "4K" is probably not native 4K anyway. Lowing resolution won't matter because the CPU is the bottleneck in these games, not GPU.
Or maybe recommended settings include RT GI and so RTX 2080 > 6800 XT.
How the fuck is a performance mode not possible.
Did Bethesda forget that the game is coming out on a platform where there is billions of different hardware setups than will run the game differently?

Hopefully they can do a 40fps mode post-launch, but 60fps was always a fantasy for these consoles. The mid-gen refreshes, however...
It has everything to do with the crippled Zen 2 cores in the consoles. They're very slow gaming CPUs. Faster gaming CPUs will be required to run the game at 60fps with all that complex stimulation.
I really hope the game supports DLSS3 on PC, as I can't see a stable 120hz being feasible without it.
