The web is abuzz with information about Starfield, Bethesda’s latest open-world (open-worlds?) RPG with a spacefaring twist. The sport doesn’t even formally launch for an additional week, however gamers who shelled out for the $100 premium version are enjoying it proper now. The sport is already seeing a whole lot of hundreds of concurrent gamers, regardless of pre-release controversy concerning the builders prioritizing AMD’s FSR upscaling over Nvidia’s DLSS. But as is at all times the case with Bethesda RPGs, there’s a mod for that.

Specifically, the Starfield Upscaler mod, which is live on the popular NexusMods platform right now. The software replaces AMD FSR together with your alternative of Nvidia DLSS or Intel XeSS, whichever works finest with the graphics card you’re at present utilizing. It went stay a bit of after 2 a.m. this morning, simply hours after the sport was first accessible to the pre-ordering public. Installation requires one other mod referred to as Upscaler Base Plugin and some tweaks to the sport’s inside information, however for those who’re an outdated hand at modding Skyrim or Fallout, it’s nothing you haven’t seen earlier than.

PC players (or not less than those that had purchased a dear Nvidia RTX card) have been upset when Starfield made no point out of supporting the DLSS upscaling methodology, presumably on account of a partnership with AMD that sees the sport bundled with some Ryzen CPUs and Radeon GPUs. According to a statement from AMD, nothing is stopping Bethesda from supporting Nvidia or Intel upscaling strategies, but it surely’s secure to imagine that the partnership means the builders are prioritizing AMD’s platform-agnostic tech at launch. As PCGamer notes, this specific modder has launched comparable instruments for older Bethesda RPGs, which additionally don’t assist upscaling tech.

A single upscaling methodology isn’t the one challenge Starfield has at launch. According to preliminary experiences, players with Intel ARC discrete GPUs can’t even play the game at all. Intel is hoping to have the problem resolved earlier than the broader September sixth launch date.
