This guide will help you pick out the best settings for Starfield on PC and console. Read on for a list of the best settings to use, what resolution to play in, and how best to play Starfield on PC and Xbox Series X|S.
List of Contents
Due to the staggering amount of detail Bethesda have put into this game, playing in 2160p (4K) at high settings and above will be the best way to experience Starfield.
If you have a display and graphics card that are capable of running Starfield well based on the recommended specs, then we recommend playing at 4K.
Recommended for 4K | |
---|---|
Operating System | Windows 10/11 with updates |
Processor | AMD Ryzen™ 7 7800X3D Intel Core™ i7-13700K |
Memory | 16 GB RAM |
Graphics Card | AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XT NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070-Ti |
Storage | 139.84 GB available space SSD required |
If your gaming graphics card is FSR-capable, you will be able to make use of FSR, or FidelityFX™ Super Resolution, which is AMD's very own resolution upscaling technology. Enabling FSR will increase your frame rate, allowing the game to run smoother on older systems.
It is worth noting that recent NVIDIA graphics cards are also capable of using FSR.
FPS Cap and Frame Rate Explained
Since Starfield is capped at 30 FPS on console, you will lose absolutely nothing playing at 2160p or 4K resolution. We recommend this resolution to have an extremely clear view of everything the game has to offer.
Available Platforms and Consoles
Starfield is recommended to be played on the Series S at 1440p or 2K resolution at 30 FPS. We recommend sticking to 1440p, as this console is not capable of playing Starfield at 4K.
If Starfield supports keyboard and mouse, then we recommend using them instead of a controller, since keyboard and mouse makes aiming guns so much easier and more accurate.
