Starfield is the latest creation ofBethesda, the studio behind the award-winning franchises ofThe Elder ScrollsandFallout.
Out of the blue, Bethesda unveiled additional features forXbox players in May.

The Xbox Series S and its wireless controller can now control the power of 120hz in Starfield.
However, gamers on theXbox Series Sconsole were left without any performance options of their own.
Note:Enabling these will sadly disable Xbox achievements.
Lighting is also significantly reduced.

Instead, there are separate Series X versions of these mods that it’s possible for you to download.
The above changes are especially noticeable on either console in cities.
The Inquisitor project brings the FPS up to a stable 60 in New Atlantis!

As you could see from the above screenshots, the comparisons are almost painted in watercolor.
To attain the 120Hz look, you’ll have to forego the whimsy of graphical fidelity.
However, it’s a buttery smooth experience.

Mods enabled - The outdoor scenery is especially noticeable.
The only thing that genuinely bums me out is that these mods disable achievements.
Bethesda is releasing Creation Kit mods that still support achievements, so why can’t others?

Mod authors need to apply to make it attain royalties.
For mods that don’t change gameplay, why are they being restricted from achievements?
