Starfield on Xbox Series X|S: Why 30 FPS Is a Concern for Players?

Starfield, under development by Bethesda, is one of the most eagerly awaited game titles this year. However, the recent announcement that it would run at 30 FPS on Xbox Series X|S has sparked a flurry of discussions among the gaming community.

Bethesda's Pete Hines tried to console players by stating, "you don't see this number [FPS rate] during gameplay". Yet, many gaming aficionados understand that the difference between 30 and 60 FPS can be quite perceptible, especially in fast-paced scenes or swift movements.

While ambiance, narrative, and gameplay mechanics play pivotal roles, graphical quality and fluidity also contribute significantly to the overall gaming experience. For those accustomed to gaming on PCs or next-gen consoles with high FPS, a shift to 30 FPS might feel disappointing.
