Bethesda eventually gave in to the pressure of bringing DLSS support to Starfield. The decision to release Starfield with only AMDFSR compatibility infuriated many players, who believed the studio had disregarded a large portion of its PC user base.
Some of the most desired features for the game are among the future planned improvements that Bethesda announced earlier today. The company expects to put out new features slowly over the next weeks. A feature that will be included in Starfield is official support for Nvidia’s upscaling technology, which will eliminate the requirement for mods for gamers to utilize DLSS.
Updates also include support for 32:9 ultrawide monitors, brightness and contrast controls, an HDR calibration menu, a field of view slider, and a “eat food button.” Based on the list, the HDR calibration, brightness and contrast control, and FOV slider ought to have come with the game when it launched. In the first place, Bethesda made some extremely strange choices in leaving these features out.
First, an enormous thank you to all of you playing Starfield and your support. We are absolutely blown away by the response and all you love about the game. We re also reading all your great feedback on what you d like to see improved or added to the game. This is a game we ll be

Bethesda commented, “First of all, an enormous thank you to all of you playing Starfield and your support.” We are in complete awe of the reaction and everything you adore about the game. Your wonderful comments about what you would want to see added to or changed in the game are also being read by us. We plan to sustain this game for many years to come, so please don’t stop providing feedback.”
“We would love to produce things like city maps in the future, even if we can’t respond to your requests right away. Our top priorities right now are fixing any major bugs or stability problems and implementing features that many have requested to improve quality of life.”
Additionally, Bethesda disclosed that it is collaborating with AMD, Intel, and Nvidia on driver support. The company claims that every update will bring fresh performance and stability enhancements.
Starfield will benefit greatly from official DLSS support because most PC users—especially those who use Steam—use Nvidia GPUs. The usage of the upscaling method would be further enhanced if DLSS were natively enabled, as demonstrated by the mods. Without a doubt, Nvidia engineers will strive to maximize technology use and squeeze every last bit of performance out of DLSS.
Additionally, Bethesda revealed that it has begun developing integrated mod support for all platforms, akin to Fallout 4 and Skyrim. The official mod support will launch in the first part of 2019. It will be interesting to see what the modding community creates and has officially added to the game, especially since it will continue to be supported for years to come.
“We love seeing the community get off to such a strong start, and modding and creating in our games will always be a vital and important part of who we are,” Bethesda stated.
