The latest Starfield update adds some options for improving the graphics on PC along with crash and bug fixes.

Starfield has received a new patch with the release of update 1.9.67.

Following a significant update last month that made well-received lighting and quest changes, this is a smaller update, though one PC players won’t want to miss.

Here’s everything Starfield’s February 20 update does.

What’s new in Starfield’s Feb 20 update?

The main thing this Starfield update does is bring new graphics options to PC players via support for AMD FidelityFXTM Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) and Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS).

As Bethesda explains, “This new feature allows for a combination of upscaling as well as advanced frame generation, boosting your framerate for better performance.”

The upscaling tech should make the game look and run better, though you’ll need to make sure your graphics card supports it.

Outside that, the update makes some improvements and bug fixes on Xbox and PC, such as a change meant to make saves more stable and a Ship Builder menu crash.
