A user recently created a mod that enables Starfield to run at 120 FPS on the Xbox Series S. Using the Creations Lab tool, this player achieved the impossible—something that even Todd Howard and Bethesda couldn’t do after seven years.
This Starfield mod surprised fans on social media platforms, such as X. Users were amazed to see how a single individual could achieve what an entire studio of hundreds of people could not, but at the same time, this mod is not as solid in other aspects; it has a very noticeable downgrade in graphics.
This Starfield Mod Surprises Fans by Achieving Such a High Frame Rate
Less than a year after its release, Starfield achieved impressive sales and reviews, but many players agree it was not what they were expecting. Bethesda, on their part, promised that this year they would release the anticipated DLC for the game called Shattered Space. Meanwhile, the community is taking advantage of the many mods made possible by the new tool presented by the studio, which allows for all kinds of mods to the game.
With Creations Lab, users can dare to do all sorts of things within this title. One player, for example, achieved something that even the studio could not do in all those years of development. Now the title runs at 120 FPS on the Xbox Series S.
I'll never understand how a random person can do something that a developer who is dedicated to that and has hundreds of employees is supposed to have a hard time doing something so simple 💀

Not even Todd Howard’s team managed to do this with the game. This quickly went viral on social media, with many videos showing how this particular mod works.
The User Made Very Smart Work of Creations
In an extensive video showing gameplay at 120 FPS on the Series S, it is clear that this player did a fantastic job achieving this goal. However, some users were surprised to discover that the console’s graphical performance significantly decreased in order to achieve this frame rate.
On X, many commented that the studio could have achieved this but was not willing to sacrifice graphical quality to improve performance.
The creator of this mod explains in the video that achieving this high performance requires losing all types of texture quality in the game. Nevertheless, many players might be willing to sacrifice this quality for the game to run at 120 FPS on the home console. On the other hand, most users prefer to continue playing the game as it is, preserving the graphical quality and maintaining the game’s outstanding visual appeal.
Although the studio has not yet confirmed the expansion’s release date, they have already unveiled the first trailer, showcasing several new story elements and introducing new items and features for players to utilize. The only known fact is that it will arrive sometime this year. The company is also preparing other games set to be released in 2024, such as Avowed, Indiana Jones, and others.
