Bethesda heeft tijdens een interview met IGN bekendgemaakt dat de sci-fi RPG Starfield op 30 FPS gaat draaien op de Xbox Series S en Xbox Series X.
De game is locked op 30 FPS voor zelfde ervaring op zowel de Xbox Series S en Xbox Series X, er is geen performance modus. Op de Xbox Series S draait de game op een 1440p resolutie op 30 FPS. Op de Xbox Series X is de resolutie verhoogt naar 4K, maar draait de game ook op een vaste 30 FPS. Op de PC is Starfield wel speelbaar op een hogere framerate.
Starfield verschijnt op 6 september 2023 exclusief voor de PC, Xbox Series S en Xbox Series X. De game is vanaf de dag van release ook beschikbaar voor leden van Xbox Game Pass.
“I think it’ll come as no surprise, given our previous games, what we go for…”
“Always these huge, open worlds, fully dynamic, hyper detail where anything can happen. And we do want to do that. It’s 4K in the X. It’s 1440 on the S. We do lock it at 30, because we want that fidelity, we want all that stuff. We don’t want to sacrifice any of it.”
“Fortunately in this one, we’ve got it running great. It’s often running way above that. Sometimes it’s 60. But on the consoles, we do lock it because we prefer the consistency, where you’re not even thinking about it. And we need that headroom because in our games, really anything can happen.”
“At some point, not to get all geeky about it, but there’s render time per-frame and teams can either want to go horizontal or go kind of deep on a frame, and it’s a creative choice. We obviously have games that are running at 4K/60 on the platform. It’s not a platform issue, it’s a creative decision. I trust the decisions Bethesda Game Studios makes, and I trust what I’m playing.
I don’t ever want us to turn playing games into a math exercise… I’m not saying that 60[FPS] or resolution don’t impact what you play, but I don’t think we want that to turn into an Excel thing. I think you want to give the creatives the tools to make the best decisions, and the game will be what it is. I think Starfield’s going to be a great game and I love the reception today, and I don’t want to kind of force specs on every game before they start.”
