Bethesda has released a new patch forStarfield, improving game stability while adding two more upscaling technologies.

Thepatch noteswere published on February 20 and confirm that the open-world sci-fi role-playing game has officially added both theAMDFidelityFXTM Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) andIntelXe Super Sampling (XeSS) forPC.

FSR 3 was available to try out inStarfield’sSteamBeta version earlier this month and allows for a combination of upscaling and advanced frame generation, which boosts framerate and improves overall performance.

Intel’s XeSS works similarly and uses AI-enhanced upscaling to enable better performance with high image fidelity. With the patch installed, players should now be able to head to their display settings inStarfieldand select both FSR 3 and XeSS as their preferred upscaling technology, as long as they have the correct respectiveGPU, of course.

The RPG launched with only Radeon’s FSR2 upscaling technology back in September 2023, and it wasn’t until late November that Bethesda finallyadded Nvidia Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) supportafter beingtested in betafor multiple weeks.

Alongside the two super sampling options, the game has also received a series of stability fixes, including an issue that would make clouds vibrate when using DLSS performance mode. You can read the full patch notes below.
