[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60529, member: 1"] Starfield development chief Todd Howard had a fun response after an interviewer asked him why Bethesda hadn’t optimised Starfield for PC. The [URL='https://youtu.be/Q-yYmq35E3I?feature=shared']Bloomberg[/URL] interviewer set up the question by saying they’d asked their viewers for questions for Todd Howard, and a “big question from many” was: “why did you not optimise this game for PC?” After a brief pause in which Howard looked a little nonplussed (Xbox boss Phil Spencer has a little laugh, too), an answer that cut to the heart of the issue: “We did. It’s running great. It is a next-gen PC game. We really do push the technology so you may need to upgrade your PC for this game. But it’s got a lot of great stuff going on in it and the fans are responding awesome.” The message is clear: if you’re having a hard time running Starfield on PC, upgrade your rig. Of course, no game runs flawlessly on all PC configurations. System requirements are designed to give players an idea of what’s required before they buy. But Starfield’s ‘mostly positive’ user review rating on Steam suggests the PC version has launched in a good state, which is quite the thing for a Bethesda game. The Microsoft effect, perhaps?
