Bethesda has promised significant updates for Starfield for 2024, from new gameplay settings and new ways of traveling to a paid expansion and more, but in addition to that, the developer is, of course, also continuing to release new updates for the space-faring RPG to further polish up the experience.
A new patch became available in beta for PC players earlier this month, adding support for AMD’s FSR 3 and Intel’s XeSS. That update has now gone live for all players on the platform, Bethesda has confirmed. In addition to the addition of support for FSR 3 and XeSS, the update also fixes a couple of visual issues and makes stability-focused adjustments. The patch notes are unchanged from the patch’s beta release, but you can check them out below.
Starfield is available on Xbox Series X/S and PC. As of December, the game had more than 13 million players. Read our review of the game through here.
