Before we dive into the technical parts, let's take a look at what Bethesda wants to include in the game. "Starfield" is not your typical RPG because it offers a rich diversity of places that you can discover.

According to the Gaming Bible, you can freely explore more than 1,000 planets in the game, where you can encounter various adventures as you go.

What's more, long-time Bethesda fans won't ever forget the face of the iconic "Adoring Fan," which is slated to come back in "Starfield." This character is from "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion."

'Starfield' Resolution and Performance

For this part, the same publication wrote that different consoles will have different fps for "Starfield." For instance, the Xbox Series X|S will be locked at 30fps. It's pretty concerning but that's how it goes at the end of the day.

Meanwhile, the reconstructed 4K resolution for "Starfield" will be available on Xbox Series X. The Series S will only feature 1440p resolution. It's not that great but it would still appear visually appealing to the eye at the very least.

'Starfield' PC Version Boasts Native 4K

For PC players who love to unravel the world of "Starfield" soon, there's good news for you. 4K resolution and 60fps support will be native to the platform, per DSO Gaming. However, the performance will still vary depending on the specs and hardware of your computer.

Knowing how popular "Starfield" is, some PlayStation fans think that it's best to gate-keep the game from being an exclusive title on Microsoft's console. However, the petition did not pan out well for those who protested.

'Starfield' Release Date

"Starfield" will be accessible from day one on Xbox Game Pass so subscribers can have an early run for the game. This sci-fi RPG is launching on September 6, 2023.
