Summary
Bethesda has recently announced thatStarfieldwill gain support for Nvidia DLSS soon. Despite the fact thatStarfieldreceived rave reviewsfrom several critics, the lack of DLSS was felt pretty hard by some gamers, as they needed to rely on mods to access the feature.
DLSS is an upscaling technology that uses AI to enhance graphics, and it’s exclusive to Nvidia graphic cards. Unfortunately, the popular option is currently unavailable inStarfield, which prompted amodder to create a DLSS mod forStarfieldbefore the game was even properly accessible to everybody on September 6.

Now, Bethesda has promised that DLSS support is coming up soon forStarfield. According to the developers, the team is already working on full Nvidia DLSS support, as well as other graphic options that were requested by the community, including HDR calibration, Field of Vision sliders, more controls for brightness and contrast, and 32:9 Ultrawide Monitor support. Unfortunately, no specific date for the release of any of these changes has been given by Bethesda so far. Also, eagerly awaited updates such as adding city maps to the game have only been hinted at so far, meaning it may be a while before gamers see them. For the time being, the only option for gamers who want to use the AI upscaling tech isusing PureDark’sStarfieldUpscaler mod.
What is available inStarfieldat the moment is a small hotfix that will improve stability to reduce crashes and increase framerates in both consoles and PC. The new hotfix is also set to fix bugs in three of the game’s quests: All That Money Can Buy, Into the Unknown, and Shadows in Neon. Additionally, Bethesda announced that it’s currently working on mod support tools that will work across all platforms, similar to what has been done in bothSkyrimandFallout 4, and asked for feedback from its modding community.
Despite the successful launch, it’s impossible to deny thatStarfielddisappointed a few people. For instance,Starfieldwas review bombedsoon after its launch, receiving several scores of 0/10 and 1/10, despite getting positive reviews from most players. Most of the game’s detractors complained about the interplanetary exploration or technical issues, such as the lack of native DLSS support. Providing support for better graphic options and fixing bugs may go a long way in regaining some of the goodwill of the community, though.
Starfieldis available now for PC and Xbox Series X|S.
