Bethesda Game Studios has released a new Steam beta update for Starfield, which adds FSR 3 and more improvements to graphics and stability.
"AMD FSR 3 comes to Starfield in our latest Steam Beta," said Bethesda. "Those of you playing on Steam can opt into the Beta to see the improvements brought to the game before this update becomes available to all our PC Starfield players.
"This new feature allows for a combination of upscaling as well as advanced frame generation, boosting your framerate for better performance. While AMD’s FSR 3 works for a wide range of video cards, you will want to verify that your system supports it so that you get the best experience. It is also recommended to use FSR 3 with VSync ON and with a VRR monitor for the best experience.
"For those participating, you can enable FSR 3 by heading to Display Settings and accessing the Upscaling options. From there you will be able to cycle through the option best suited for your experience."
The update will be made available for everyone soon.
