At last, this popular AMD-sponsored title is receiving FSR 3 support on PC, which will help you boost framerates and your overall gaming experience. Starfield is scheduled to receive a big update on Steam Beta this month, as Bethesda Game Studio announced on a subreddit in December that Starfield would see a range of improvements via scheduled updates every 6 weeks. They provided some insight into what Starfield gamers could expect over the course of the year. On top of bug fixes, they mentioned city maps, new ways of traveling and customizing ships, new ways of further adjusting the difficulty, and even a Shattered Space story expansion. Following on from this, Bethesda Game Studios recently announced on X that, ahead of the big update we can expect this month, they will be bringing AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 technology to Starfield – a game changer for both potential FPS and general visual performance. What this FSR 3 update will mean for you AMD’s FSR 3 uses a mix of frame generation technology and super-resolution temporal upscaling to bring you a big boost in framerates. This is AMD’s equivalent to Nvidia’s DLSS, which works exclusively on RTX GPUs, whereas AMD’s supersampling tech is compatible with Nvidia, Intel, and AMD GPUs. With this mini update, Starfield will be one of the few games out there that has support from both Nvidia’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR 3, allowing gamers to see how both technologies stack up alongside each other. Starfield was launched last year, and surprisingly it only supports AMD’s FSR 2. This led PC gamers seeking FSR 3 to use it unofficially with mods, in an effort to boost frame rates, so this mini update will certainly come as good news. Now that Starfield will support FSR 3, it joins the expanding selection of games that support AMD’s latest iterations of supersampling tech, such as Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Our take on this announcement The news from Bethesda Game Studios that AMD’s FSR 3 will be available on Starfield for PC will bring a sigh of relief to Starfield gamers. This technology should massively help when it comes to enhancing your overall Starfield gaming experience. As the latest generation of AMD’s supersampling tech, this mini update, ahead of the big one expected later this month, will play a huge role in boosting framerates and reducing stuttering.
