FULL STORY
======================================================================

If you were disappointed by the performance of Starfield on Xbox Series S, 
then I have some good news. Although the game launched with a 30fps cap on 
the platform, the recent introduction of mod support has paved the way for 
you to double or even quadruple that figure. 

In a recent analysis of a handful of Starfield mods by Digital Foundry , it 
was shown that players can easily increase the framerate by installing 
community created performance fixes. One prominent example is the 1280x720 
Resolution mod by user GarBusGarBear which removes the games framerate limit 
and locks the internal image quality to 720p. 

With this mod enabled, some smaller internal environments were able to reach 
a staggering 120fps - with that figure dropping down to around 100fps during 
intense combat scenes. Some of the busiest areas in the game hovered slightly 
above 40fps, though with some visible dips here and there, which is still a 
bit of an improvement compared to the original version. 

That said, the shift from the standard 900p internal resolution to 720p does 
noticeably impact the overall image quality. Everything appears much 
blurrier, which might be just about acceptable if you game on a small 1080p 
monitor but will undoubtedly look quite unpleasant on a higher-resolution TV 
screen. 

Thats just one of the mods on offer though; there are countless others that 
aim to improve performance without such obvious downsides. This includes one 
that simply removes the 30fps framerate cap, allowing the game to run at 
around 40fps. Provided that you already own a copy of Starfield on Xbox 
Series S, theres very little reason not to spend a little bit of time playing 
around with everything on offer to see what kind of performance you can 
achieve. 

These mods are also available on Xbox Series X and could be a good way to 
squeeze out some extra frames. Just be aware that the use of any mods will 
create a new set of saves where your ability to earn in-game achievements is 
disabled. You might also like... Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble Review:
