Even if you satisfy the minimum hardware requirements for Starfield, you may need to tweak your settings for a smooth gameplay experience. While Xbox players will have less to worry about in terms of optimizing their gameplay, PC players will need to juggle between various settings to achieve a sustainable frame rate. Depending on your hardware, however, even using the lowest settings possible may not be enough to average 30-60 frames in Starfield, which could be seen as a sign to upgrade your system. Best PC settings for Starfield We adjusted the best Starfield settings for PC to maximize the performance of our mid-tier gaming rig in Starfield. Though we started our space journey with higher settings, the Starfield audio cutting out error forced our hand to lower them further. Setting name Configuration Dynamic Resolution Off Render Resolution 75 percent Graphics Preset Custom Shadow Quality Low Indirect Lighting Medium Reflections Medium Particle Quality Low Volumetric Lighting Low Crowd Density Low Motion Blur Off GTAO Quality Medium Grass Quality Medium Contact Shadows Low VSync Off Upscaling FSR2 Enable VRS Off Depth of Field On Starfield is the most detailed Bethesda game since Skyrim. The title even puts the latest hardware to work, so it relies on upscaling to make up for lower render resolutions. We also had VRS enabled at the start of our playthrough, an option that should grant older systems a few extra frames. We had to turn VRS off due to audio bugs, so that\u2019s a setting we will revisit in the future. Related Starfield PC specs: what are the minimum system requirements? Starfield not launching? Here\u2019s 3 things to do to get into Starfield The configurations above have been the best Starfield settings on PC for us as they delivered a decent mix between quality and performance. The best settings will heavily depend on your hardware, so we recommend customizing the settings above based on your hardware. Best Xbox settings for Starfield Though Xbox players will have less graphical settings to adjust in Starfield, they can still customize their experience through various gameplay settings like the following. Gameplay settings Save on Rest: On Save on Wait: On Save on Travel: On Save on Pause: Five Minutes Display settings Film Grain Intensity: Zero Enable Motion Blur: Off Enable Depth of Field: On Interface settings Crosshair: On Show Floating Markers: On Show Item Information in HUD: On HUD Opacity: Personal preference Controller settings Controller settings highly depend on personal preferences. If the general sensitivity settings don\u2019t do it for you, you can fine tune them in controller settings. Bindings settings The default bindings of Starfield will cover a wide range of combinations. If you have additional buttons only for your controller, you can assign them controls through the bindings menu. Audio settings The most essential settings inside the audio configurations will be \u201cFootsteps.\u201d We recommend lowering the volume of your own steps, so you can hear others better, preventing sneak attacks in the future.
