Customizable Gameplay Experience
The May Update adds many new gameplay options that can satisfy the player of any kind. From changing credit limits of the players to modifying survival features like the necessity of food and environmental dangers, players have their gaming experience more in their hands than ever. It is possible now to select combat difficulty settings, which offers tailored gameplay for space and ground combat. The new “Extreme” mode with its unmatched thrill the gameplay would offer would definitely not disappoint.
The ship customization feature gets a massive update which comes with the release of the Ship Decoration Mode. Based on the idea of outpost decoration, players will be able to customize the interiors of their spaceship, resulting in distinct and visually attractive living spaces among the stars. Adding more doorways and letting players put down and decorate empty hab modules extends their creativity range and allows them to personalize their interstellar trips as they see fit.
Starfield Improved Performance for Xbox Series X Game Players

And Series X users are now allowed to choose from multiple frame rate options including 30fps, 40fps, 60fps, or no cap at all on Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) displays. This flexibility allows players to customize their gameplay experience to adhere to their preferences, either focusing on performance or visual fidelity. Moreover, aside from the prioritization settings, Series X gamers can fine-tune their gaming so they can set a better balance between visuals and performance.
