Ahead of the Starfield showcase yesterday, part of the Summer Game Fest, Bethesda’s Todd Howard spoke to IGN about the game’s console performance. He confirmed that it will run at 4K on the Xbox Series X and 1440p on the Xbox Series S – there’s no PlayStation version — but it will be locked at 30 fps on both machines.
