Bethesda Game Studios has announced that they will be incorporating AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) into their highly anticipated game, Starfield. This latest update will bring FSR 3, the third generation of AMD’s supersampling technology, to the game. The news was revealed through a post on the official Bethesda Game Studios X/Twitter account, where they stated that FSR 3 will be added to Starfield via Steam Beta next week. The update will then be made available to all PC players later this month.
FSR is AMD’s answer to Nvidia’s DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology, which enhances graphics and improves frame rates in supported games. However, unlike DLSS, which only works on Nvidia’s RTX GPUs, FSR can be utilized on a wide range of graphics cards, including those from AMD, Nvidia, and Intel. This makes FSR a more accessible option for gamers who want to enhance their gaming experience without having to invest in specific hardware.
Starfield initially supported FSR 2 when it was first launched last year. However, PC players who wanted to experience the benefits of FSR 3 had to rely on unofficial mods to add it to the game. One notable mod, called DLSSG-to-FSR3, allowed gamers to replace Nvidia’s DLSS Frame Generation with FSR 3, resulting in higher frame rates in certain games. With the official support for FSR 3 in Starfield, players can now enjoy the benefits of AMD’s supersampling technology without the need for any third-party modifications.
Starfield joining the list of games that support FSR 3 further solidifies AMD’s position in the gaming industry. Other games that have incorporated this technology include Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. It is clear that developers are recognizing the value of FSR 3 in enhancing the visual fidelity and performance of their games.
In addition to the FSR 3 update, Bethesda has also hinted at another update scheduled for this month. Last December, in a Reddit post, the studio suggested that a story expansion called Shattered Space would be released in February. This news has generated even more excitement among Starfield fans, who are eagerly awaiting new content and experiences in the game.
Starfield has been highly anticipated since its announcement, and it seems that the game is living up to expectations. In our review of Starfield, we noted that despite the challenges it faced, the game’s immersive roleplaying quests and solid combat mechanics make it difficult to resist. With the addition of FSR 3 and the promise of future updates, it appears that Bethesda is committed to delivering an exceptional gaming experience to its players.
As we await the official release of Starfield’s FSR 3 update, gamers can look forward to enjoying improved graphics and performance in this highly anticipated space exploration game. Whether you’re playing on an AMD, Nvidia, or Intel graphics card, FSR 3 will provide a significant boost to your gaming experience. Stay tuned for more updates from Bethesda as they continue to expand and enhance the world of Starfield.
