Nvidia DLSS support with frame generation will be added to the PC version of Starfield next week via a Steam Beta update.
The game launched in September with support for FSR2, the latest version of AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution tech.
While a mod that added support for DLSS arrived shortly after Starfield’s release, official support for Nvidia‘s upscaling technology is now on the horizon.
Next week’s Starfield update will also include display and HDR controls for supported systems, plus other optimisations and improvements.
“You’ll be able to opt-in to try it via the Steam Beta options,” Bethesda said. “We’d love your feedback before it goes live for all PC and Xbox players after that.”
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said last week that Starfield’s release day set a new record for most new Game Pass subscriptions in a single day.
“More than 11 million people have played the game to date,” he said. “Nearly half of hours played have been on PC, and on launch day, we set a record for the most Game Pass subscriptions added on a single day ever.”
VGC’sStarfield review called it “the ultimate Bethesda game”, saying it “takes what people loved about Fallout and Skyrim and casts it across an enormous galaxy”.

Steam users can opt-in to beta update 1.8.83 by right-clicking on Starfield in their libraries, selecting Properties, then picking Betas in the pop-up window and again [beta] in the drop-down selection. Do note that this will require a separate download. You'll get to continue your current saves, but saves created in this beta build won't work until this update goes live later this month.
