Starfield will be limited to 30 FPS on Xbox Series X|S

Speaking to IGN, Todd Howard, the director of Starfield, confirmed a key piece of information for console gamers. Bethesda Game Studios' open-world RPG will suffer a pretty big restriction on Microsoft consoles.

Let's be honest, Starfield will run in 4K at 30 FPS on Xbox Series X and in 1440p at 30 FPS on Xbox Series S. Howard justified this choice by saying he didn't want to cut back on graphics. A locked framerate will also ensure more stable performance during the battles, which promise to be pretty impressive.
