Starfield is on its way to becoming Bethesda’s best game after Skyrim. Although the majority of the criticism was positive, many PC users stated that the game had optimization problems. Bethesda boss Todd Howard gave an answer that would anger the players when this situation was put to him in an interview.
“Starfield has no optimization problems, boost your computers”
Bethesda boss Todd Howard and Xbox boss Phil Spencer have been on the interview tour following the launch of Starfield, and as part of it, the pair gave an interview to Bloomberg Technology.

Although the questions had a more general business focus and delved into topics like Game Pass and Elder Scrolls 6, the show took an interesting turn when the reporter posed a rather blunt audience question to Howard: “Why didn’t you optimize this game for PC?”
As Phil Spencer couldn’t suppress his chuckle, Howard went on to say: “Oh…we actually optimized it. It works great. This is a next generation PC game, we are really pushing technology so you may need to upgrade your computer for this game. “There’s a lot of great stuff in the game and the fans are giving great feedback.”
Starfield is, of course, a real Bethesda game. The studio’s top brass have been pushing back against the notion that it has been shipping buggy or poorly optimized games lately, but there’s a reason for its reputation.

Of course, in the early days of Starfield, players enjoyed many quirky aspects of the space lifestyle, including crew members boarding outside ships in deep space and war-interrupted persuasion minigames.
Of course, there will be mistakes. However, we do not know whether “upgrade your computer” is the answer to be given in such a situation. Because, according to the feedback from the players, even on systems with RTX 3080, there are areas where it is difficult to achieve 60 FPS at minimum settings.
