Bethesda has pushed its latest patch for Starfield which mainly looks at ways of super-sampling the game’s graphics to make them pop like never before. In its page about the update on bethesda.net the devs revealed that AMD’s FSR3 (AMD FidelityFXTM Super Resolution 3 had been added, along with support for Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS).
These technical additions come in alongside some stability changes for saves for players who have visited many locations and removed some minor visual artifacts when aiming.
A couple of crashes have also been fixed. While not a groundbreaking patch it forms part of Bethesda’s attempts to release an improvement patch every six weeks after patch testing has been completed on the Steam beta version of the game.
