Xbox console exclusive Starfield will be locked to 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Bethesda's Todd Howard has confirmed. …

Not a deal breaker for this kind of game but a 60fps performance mode on series x at 1080p would’ve been a nice option.

Playing TOTK right now on switch and it really proves how great games can overcome technical limitation. A masterpiece at 30fps is still a masterpiece. Here’s hoping Starfield can deliver as a great game first and foremost.

If the bottleneck is something like AI or physics calculations on the CPU then lowering the rendering resolution won’t help achieve a higher framerate unfortunately.

I suspect most games shipping this gen without 60 FPS modes are CPU bound.

That’s a great point.
