As of writing, there is no aim assist feature available on the official release of Starfield on PC or console. However, it is possible that Bethesda will add the setting for it in future updates. If they do add it in, then this page will be updated accordingly.

What's certain, though, is that Starfield will not have an auto-aim feature on the same level as VATS, which allows players of Fallout games to automatically target parts of an enemy's body. In Starfield, players should expect to aim at enemies using their own efforts.
Time slows down when you open up your weapon wheel to swap guns. This does not count as aim-assist, since you can't aim while time is slowed down, but you can certainly get your bearings and plan what to do and who to shoot next when in a pinch.
