About This Video

Starfield on PlayStation 5 day, and yes, I did the boring menu-diving so you don’t have to. I tested the PS5 port on a base “full fat” launch PS5 (the big old fatty boy), checked the settings that actually matter, and put the graphics modes side-by-side: 30 vs 40 vs 60 FPS, plus Visual Priority vs Performance Priority, with Vsync/VRR options. Good news right out of the gate: there’s an FOV slider (I bumped first-person to 90), and adaptive triggers exist… but they’re bizarrely OFF by default, so go turn ’em on if you want the fun bits. The other big win: you don’t need a PS5 Pro to access the 30/40/60 modes. That whole “Pro required” vibe was just spectacularly craptacular messaging. Now, the less-fun part: 60 FPS on PS5 isn’t consistently nailed in tougher areas, and in big city sections it can stammer and feel bloody awful. I also show the FSR shimmers/ghosting—especially on high-contrast moving text—where Performance mode can make it even worse. My takeaway is simple: if you’ve got a 120Hz VRR screen, 40 FPS in Visual Priority is the sweet spot. It’s impressively stable even in the city, keeps the image clearer, and the jump from 30 to 40 is shockingly significant in feel.
