Given these requirements, we can expect systems at minimum requirements to run the game at at least 30 FPS as well, at 1080p high/ultra settings. This can be increased to 60 FPS by dropping the settings down to medium or low.

On the other hand, systems at recommended specs will be able to run Starfield at 60 FPS, 1080p ultra settings, and 1440p medium settings.

AMD System Requirements

Due to Starfield's partnership with AMD, AMD released their own set of recommended system requirements to run the game.

1080p
(1920 x 1080)
1440p
(2560 x 1440)
4K
(3840 × 2160)
CPU AMD Ryzen™ 5 7600 AMD Ryzen™ 7 7700X AMD Ryzen™ 7 7800X3D
GPU AMD Radeon™ RX 7600 AMD Radeon™ RX 6800 Series AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XT
Mother-board AMD A620 AMD B650 AMD X670

All AMD recommended systems are expected to run the game at high-to-max settings with high frame rates at their respective resolutions.

Xbox Minimum Requirements

Console File Size
Xbox Series X|S 126.1 GB Required Space

Similar to the PC requirements, storage on Xbox consoles will require the same amount of hard drive space.

Will Starfield Support Controller on PC?

Full Controller Support Available

Starfield Controller Support

As noted Starfield's Steam page, Starfield will have full support for controllers on PC. This includes mainstream controllers from Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo (Switch Pro), and third party ones like Razer and 8BitDo.

Will Starfield Have Keyboard and Mouse Support?

Will Starfield Support Ultrawide Monitors?

Unlikely to Support Ultrawide Resolution

There has been no confirmation that Starfield will support ultrawide monitors, and it is unlikely that Starfield will have it, as previous Bethesda games have been known to not support ultrawide resolutions out of the box.

Will Starfield Have DLSS?

No Confirmation Yet

DLSS, which is a feature developed by Nvidia that increases a game's performance using upscaling techniques, has not yet been confirmed to be supported in Starfield.

Many fans think it is unlikely, given Bethesda's history of lack of DLSS support. However, Starfield's recommended specs seem to indicate that the game will somehow employ Ray-Tracing, which could also mean support for DLSS.
