I think they should at least give console players the choice between 4k 30 fps or 1080p 60 fps Let's be realistic here, 4k 60fps for a game of this size in this engine will require a BEEFY machine, nothing a current gen console can offer.
The game is probably CPU bound not GPU bound, based on past bethesda games. If that is the case, decreasing the resolution will not necessarily increase the frame rate a proportional amount.
Idk, if they release a game in 2023 that is still CPU bound that would be a big L from them. I really hope that's not the case.
Especially because I bought a freaking 7900 XTX mainly for Starfield :D
This is Bethesda were talking here lmao. Starfield is still running on the Creation Engine, which they've been hacking together since the Morrowind days.
