Starfield’s long-promised DLSS update is finally available through a beta test on PC.
When Starfield released on September 6, developer Bethesda faced backlash from fans because its space-fairing action role-playing game didn’t support Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology at launch. The tech—which allows players to get better framerate performance on their PCs without sacrificing the game’s image quality—was such a hot commodity that fans flocked to a fan-made NexusMod in its absence. Now, Starfield Beta Update 1.8.83 will let you test out the game with DLSS support before it officially launches on Xbox and PC (though the DLSS aspect of the update will only apply to PCs, obviously).

“This update introduces Nvidia DLSS support for our PC players. Compatible Nvidia graphic cards can now use DLSS Super Resolution, Deep Learning Anti-aliasing (DLAA), Nvidia Reflex Low Latency, and DLSS Frame generation,” Bethesda wrote in the update. “Please note: While DLSS Frame Generation is active, VSync needs to be toggled OFF to see the benefit. We are working to automatically adjust this setting in a future update.”

Here’s how you can access the Starfield Beta update:
1.) Open your Steam Library and navigate to Starfield
2.) Right-click on Starfield and click Properties
3.) Select “Betas” in the Properties window
5.) Wait for the app to download a new build of the game and enjoy
The DLSS feature wasn’t the only thing included in today’s PC beta update. 1.8.83 also introduces a bunch of new gameplay and quality-of-life fixes to the game. Chief among them is the ability to gobble food and drink items the moment you find them lying around instead of having to access your inventory to use them.

In our review of Starfield, we said the game is “capable of inspiring some deep and complicated thoughts and emotions” despite its flaws. Let’s hope Bethesda’s next big game won’t make the same mistake of launching on PC without DLSS support. I’m looking at you, Elder Scrolls VI.
