Starfield is finally within our grasp, but Xbox Series S owners are wondering how the performance matches up against other platforms and if the game runs on the budget console.<\/p>\n

The Xbox Series S is a great little console that offers a way to play next-gen games without shelling out $500 for new hardware. For many players, this will be their way of getting access to Starfield, while ordinarily not being an Xbox gamer.<\/p>\n

But before you hit purchase, it\u2019s worth taking a look at some early gameplay to see whether or not Starfield actually works well on Series S.<\/p>\n

Does Starfield Run Well on Xbox Series S?<\/h2>\n

Yes, Starfield does run well on the Xbox Series S, and its performance holds up well against the Xbox Series X and PC versions of the game. Many players believe it is one of the most polished games to ever hit the console.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starfield will run at 1440p at 30 FPS on Xbox Series S, a significant downgrade from the Series X\u2019s 4K resolution. <\/p>\n

However, neither console can top 30 frames per second, thanks to the game\u2019s maximum frame lock setting, which Howard reports is necessary in order to maintain graphical fidelity across detailed, dynamic open worlds.<\/p>\n

Various players have found that the Xbox Series S holds up well to match the frame rate performance of the Series X and only tends to dip below 30 FPS in some of the larger cities. There is really no performance drop from the Series X to the Series S. <\/p>\n

Parris Lilly, on the Kinda Funny Gamescast, even stated to have played on Starfield on all three platforms and that each one ran as \u201csmooth as butter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

This means that if you are playing on the Xbox Series S, the only thing you\u2019re missing out on is the increased graphical quality of the Xbox Series X. However, if you\u2019re not too worried about that stuff, then the Xbox Series S is a great place to experience Starfield. <\/p>\n

Bethesda boss Todd Howard has previously stated that most of his playtime in Starfield has been on the Series S, and \u201cit looks great.\u201d <\/p>\n
