Starfield is a game that I really enjoyed, so much so that it managed to completely engross me, but that doesn’t change the fact that not well optimized. It’s a reality that the media and users alike have been able to attest to, and that we can appreciate in many ways, such as the huge swings in performance between regions, as well as the bad effect that scaling and downscaling has on performance. graphic quality settings.

In a recent interview the audience asked Bethesda’s Todd Howard why they didn’t optimize Starfield for PC, and his response was as follows:

“We’ve done it, it’s working very well. It is a next generation game on PC. We’ve really pushed the technology to the limit, so you may need to upgrade your computer push this game forward, but it has a lot of content and the fan response has been incredible.”

It’s true that Starfield is a good gamewhich offers a truly unique experience and which has a tremendous amount of content, but no, not optimized at all. I’ve already told you what I think about the graphics and pushing the technology to the limit, we have one made of lime and one made of sand, because this title looks wonderful on many occasions, but also offers details that could be improved.

Is this a next generation title? Yes, of course it’s a game overcomes the limitations of the previous generation and that it fully embraces many things that can only be achieved on the current generation of hardware, specifically the Starfield it would not be possible as we know it if it was developed based on Xbox One and PS4, but optimization on PC is one of its big bills pending.

I hope Bethesda implements some improvements in this regard. through future patches. Considering the success that Starfield has achieved, this is the least that those who bought it on PC and have shown their support for the game since its inception deserve.
