Starfield's latest patch introduces DLSS support and instant food consumption feature

Nov 21, 2023 10:14 AM

Gamers eagerly anticipating updates for "Starfield" can now rejoice as the latest patch brings significant improvements and new features to enhance their space exploration experience. Notably, the update introduces DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) support for the PC version, enabling Nvidia graphics card owners to enjoy AI-driven upscaling of the game's graphics, from resolutions such as 1080p to crisp 4K, without compromising on performance.

This improvement offers a boost in visual fidelity, while also accommodating the previously implemented FSR2 technology designed for AMD cards. The update answers the community's requests by adding a highly desired quality-of-life feature: the ability to immediately consume food items found in the game world without having to store them and navigate through menus first.

Additionally, the patch addresses various bugs that had affected gameplay, including an issue with NPCs appearing nude and other glitches that disrupted mission progress. With these updates, "Starfield" continues to evolve, offering players a richer and more user-friendly experience. The game, crafted by the esteemed creators behind "The Elder Scrolls" series, launched on September 6 and is available on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and through Game Pass, where it set a record for the most new subscribers in a single day.

Fans and newcomers to Bethesda's signature expansive and immersive gaming worlds can expect "Starfield" to encapsulate the vastness and attention to detail that the developer is known for, all set against the backdrop of an intriguing and open space environment. The full patch notes can be found for further details on the enhancements and fixes included in this update.

DLSS support for Starfield is a huge win for PC gamers seeking that sweet spot between performance and eye candy; it's great to see Bethesda not only keeping up with technological trends but also responding to the community by streamlining in-game mechanics. Tackling bugs and enhancing player convenience in one fell swoop shows they're committed to refining the space-faring journey post-launch—always a good sign for the longevity of any title.

Bethesda's really stepping up their game with the Starfield patch, especially with that slick DLSS support for the PC squad—crisp visuals without tanking your frames is always a win-win. And props to them for not just polishing the tech, but also listening to the community about those quality-of-life tweaks; chowing down on the go without menu deep-dives is the kind of small change that makes a huge difference in keeping us in the zone.
