The game-changing addition to the Starfield will be official DLSS support for Nvidia GPUs. Since the announcement of Bethesda partnering up with AMD for the PC port, many raised concerns about the game skipping DLSS support. And it proved to be true, as the game launched with AMD FSR2 support. While moddersadded supportfor Nvidia’s upscaling technology, Starfield does not officially have it.

Additionally, Bethesda confirms that they are working with Nvidia, AMD, and Intel on driver support, and each will improve the stability & performance of the game. Other changes coming to Starfield outside of DLSS include some essentials many users have requested since the launch. These are:

Few of the above problems, like the FOV problems, were fixed by modders. Hence, it is great to see Starfield officially adding these features with a future update.

Starfield Mod Support Releasing Early Next Year

Another essential feature many players are waiting for is official mod support. Fortunately, Bethesda is also aware of this, confirming they are working to add built-in mod support. This will work across every platform (PC, Xbox Series X/ S) and works like Skyrim and Fallout 4.

As for when it will be released, they confirmed that mod support is coming early next year. This matches what Todd Howardconfirmed in an interviewa few weeks ago. Here, he said that mod support is in the works, and it will come to both platforms in 2024. For now, players can install thevarious Starfield modsmade available by the community.
