Starfield's Next Update Adds A Major New Feature For PC Players 2

Bethesda has today unveiled the next update for Starfield on PC (available now for those who opt into the Steam Beta version), and it includes the long-awaited rollout of AMD FSR 3 for those with video cards that support it!

If your PC can take advantage of this, it means you should benefit from improved framerates in Starfield moving forward. Here's how Bethesda has described FSR 3 as part of a new blog post:

"This new feature allows for a combination of upscaling as well as advanced frame generation, boosting your framerate for better performance. While AMD’s FSR 3 works for a wide range of video cards, you will want to verify that your system supports it so that you get the best experience. It is also recommended to use FSR 3 with VSync ON and with a VRR monitor for the best experience."

Elsewhere, there are a few other PC-specific improvements and fixes in this latest Starfield update. As mentioned, it's only live to Steam Beta users right now, but it should be going live to everyone else in the near future.

GRAPHICS

  • Added support for AMD FidelityFXTM Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3). (PC)
  • Added support for Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS). (PC)
  • Fixed an issue that could make the clouds appear to vibrate when using DLSS performance mode. (PC)
