AMD FSR 3 and Intel XeSS Are Now Officially in Starfield
Bethesda Game Studios announced the release of a new Starfield patch that introduces support for AMD FSR 3 and Intel XeSS.
The availability of AMD FSR 3 will be especially useful for all those gamers without an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 graphics card. Starfield already supports NVIDIA DLSS 3, but that feature is only available to RTX 40 GPUs, whereas AMD FSR 3 works on all graphics cards. Truth to be told, a mod already injected FSR 3 into the game, but an official implementation is of course always preferable. Either way, the performance gains are pretty significant.

While there are already plenty of mods available for Starfield, having access to the official mod tools will enable modders to create far more detailed and interesting mods.
