Bethesda confirmed Starfield's Xbox Series X and S resolution and framerate in a new interview with IGN.

“I think it'll come as no surprise, given our previous games, what we go for,” Howard said. “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.

They learned nothing after the Redfail debacle. Xbox Series X the 30 fps machine now official by Xbox first-party.

1440p at 60 on the XSX would have been better.

 

[Umar]

12tflops of power

1440p at 60 on the XSX would have been better.

They might do just that, later.

 

[Muddasar]

I bet these are max dynamic resolutions on each version.

 

[Muddasar]

They might do just that, later.

Later? When people have moved on to other games?

 

[Satoru]

I wonder if my computer will runs this stable. It should, but it's a Bethesda game.

 

[Entropi]

Very odd choice, but isn't that The standard for Bethesda games on consoles?

Horizon Forbidden West looks more visually impressive (and is also open-world) and that has a 60fps mode.
Disappointing.
But that's the Bethesda I know. Typical PC dev. Struggling with console ports.

That excuse doesn’t cut it now.

Not with the PC architecture in ALL current consoles.

Heck they even have 1 less platform to port to.

Skyrim? Hello?

Their engine is shit, that's all. It's not about being a PC Dev, it's about not taking the time to develop a proper engine and relying on a modernised version of a 20 year old clunky piece of crap.

Come the fuck on man. Just resign.

That too.
Bethesda and Bungie have this problem. Their engines suck.

 

[Lord Mittens]

looking forward to the analysis from NXGamer on this one

 

[Satoru]

That too.

First, why call Bungie here? This is about Bethesda.

Second, while hard to work and maybe substandard, Bugies engine provides butter smooth gameplay that's pretty gold standard for modern shooters. Starfield didn't show anything that's even close, nevermind above, of the standard set by No Man's Sky, the game it copies most of its mechanics, UI, and ideas from
