Starfield won’t have a performance mode at launch on console, or seemingly never, according to Todd Howard.
It’s bad news for Starfield fans who’ll be playing the game on console, as game director Todd Howard confirms during not-E3 2023 that there’ll be no performance mode.
That means that Starfield will be locked to 30fps on Xbox Series X|S. This is to ensure “consistency” of performance, Howard said in an interview with IGN, where he also confirmed that the game will run at 4K resolution on Xbox Series X, and 1440p on Xbox Series S.
“We do lock it at 30, because we want that fidelity, we want all that stuff,” says Howard. “We don’t want to sacrifice any of it. Fortunately in this one, we’ve got it running great.
